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

introductionMorquio A syndrome (mucopolysaccharidosis type IVA, MPS IVA) is one of the lysosomal storage diseases and is caused by the deficiency of AREAS COVERED: This article describes the advanced therapies of Morquio A, focused on enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) and gene therapy to deliver the drug to avascular bone lesions. ERT and gene therapies for other types of MPS are also discussed, which provide therapeutic efficacy to bone lesions. EXPERT OPINION: ERT, gene therapy and hematopietic stem therapy are clinically and/or experimentally conducted. However, there is no effective curative therapy for bone lesion to date. One of the limitations for Morquio A therapy is that targeting avascular cartilage tissues remains an unmet challenge. ERT or gene therapy with bone-targeting system will improve the bone pathology and skeletal manifestations more efficiently.
