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

unlabelledAlmost half of patients with Gaucher disease are diagnosed by the age of 10 years, and approximately two thirds are diagnosed by the age of 20 years. Besides symptomatic children, some presymptomatic children are being diagnosed through community screening programs and because of affected siblings. In addition, it is anticipated that in the near future, newborn screening for lysosomal diseases such as Gaucher disease will be introduced in the USA, identifying additional pre/nonsymptomatic children. Currently, there is no severity scoring system for children. A validated disease severity scoring system in the pediatric Gaucher population will be essential for classifying disease severity in these children, monitoring their disease progression, making decisions about when to treat them, and monitoring disease improvement with therapy. A severity scoring system will also be helpful in comparing therapeutic options as new therapies are designed. Therefore, a Pediatric Gaucher Severity Scoring System (PGS3) was devised using expert opinion and validated in 26 patients with type 1 Gaucher disease. The PGS3 correlates well with disease severity in patients at diagnosis and over time.

conclusionA practical system that will help clinical management, based on signs and symptoms in children with type 1 Gaucher disease, is presented.
