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

Gaucher disease is the prototypical lysosomal storage disease. It results from the accumulation of undegraded glucosylceramide in the reticuloendothelial system of the bone marrow, spleen and liver due to deficiency of the enzyme glucocerebrosidase. This leads to hematologic, visceral and skeletal maifestions. Build up of glucosylceramide in the liver and spleen results in hepatosplenomegaly. The normal bone marrow is replaced by the accumulating substrate leading to many of the hematologic signs including anemia. The visceral and skeletal manifestations can be visualized with various imaging modalities including radiography, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and radionuclide scanning. Prior to the development of enzyme replacement therapy, treatment was only supportive. However, once intravenous enzyme replacement therapy became available in the 1990s it quickly became the standard of care. Enzyme replacement therapy leads to improvement in all manifestations. The visceral and hematologic manifestations respond more quickly usually within a few months or years. The skeletal manifestations take much longer, usually several years, to show improvement. In recent years newer treatment strategies, such as substrate reduction therapy, have been under investigation. Imaging plays a key role in both initial diagnosis and routine monitoring of patient on treatment particularly volumetric MRI of the liver and spleen and MRI of the femora for evaluating bone marrow disease burden.
