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

Mucopolysaccharidosis (MPS) type I (Hurler syndrome) is a lysosomal storage disorder characterized by deficiency of alpha-L-iduronidase (IDUA), intracellular storage of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) and progressive neurological pathology. The MPS I mouse model provides an opportunity to study the pathophysiology of this disorder and to determine the efficacy of novel therapies. Previous work has demonstrated a series of abnormalities in MPS I mice behavior, but so far some important brain functions have not been addressed. Therefore, in the present study we aimed to determine if MPS I mice have motor abnormalities, and at what age they become detectable. MPS I and normal male mice from 2 to 8 months of age were tested in open-field for locomotor activity, hindlimb gait analysis and hang wire performance. We were able to detect a progressive reduction in the crossings and rearings in the open field test and in the hang wire test in MPS I mice from 4 months, as well as a reduction in the gait length at 8 months. Histological examination of 8-month old mice cortex and cerebellum revealed storage of GAGs in Purkinje cells and neuroinflammation, evidenced by GFAP immunostaining. However TUNEL staining was negative, suggesting that death does not occur. Our findings suggest that MPS I mice have a progressive motor dysfunction, which is not caused by loss of neuron cells but might be related to a neuroinflammatory process.
