1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

background and purposeReliable markers for predicting neurologic outcome in patients with MPS II are lacking. The purpose of this study is to explore whether quantitative volumetric measurements of brain MR imaging can be used to differentiate between MPS II patients with and without cognitive impairment. This MR imaging study is the first in MPS II patients to use automated/semi-automated methods to quantify brain volumes in a longitudinal design. MATERIALS AND

methodsSixteen male patients with MPS II in a natural history study had annual brain MR imaging and detailed neurodevelopmental assessment over 2 years. Automated and semi-automated methods were used to determine brain volumes. Linear mixed regression models adjusting for age were used to assess the correlation between the volumetric parameters and cognition.

resultsAmong the 16 MPS II patients, 10 (22 MR imaging studies) had cognitive impairment whereas the other 6 (11 MR imaging studies) had normal cognition. A decreased brain tissue/ICV ratio (-5%; P < .001) and an increased lateral ventricle/ICV ratio (+4%; P = .029) were found in patients with cognitive impairment compared with patients with normal cognition. These changes were apparent in patients as young as 7 years of age in addition to older patients.

conclusionsQuantitative volumetric measurements of brain MR imaging in MPS II patients can be obtained by using automated and semi-automated segmentation methods. MPS II patients with cognitive impairment have decreased brain tissue volumes, but longer studies with more subjects are required to confirm these results.
