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

To economically produce recombinant human α-galactosidase A (GLA) with a cell culture system that does not require bovine serum, we chose methylotrophic yeast cells with the OCH1 gene, which encodes α-1,6-mannosyltransferase, deleted and over-expressing the Mnn4p (MNN4) gene, which encodes a positive regulator of mannosylphosphate transferase, as a host cell line. The enzyme (yr-hGLA) produced with the gene-manipulated yeast cells has almost the same enzymological parameters as those of the recombinant human GLA produced with cultured human fibroblasts (agalsidase alfa), which is currently used for enzyme replacement therapy for Fabry disease. However, the basic structures of their sugar chains are quite different. yr-hGLA has a high content of phosphorylated N-glycans and is well incorporated into the kidneys, the main target organ in Fabry disease, where it cleaves the accumulated glycosphingolipids. A glycoprotein production system involving this gene-manipulated yeast cell line will be useful for the development of a new enzyme replacement therapy for Fabry disease.
