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

Genomic DNA and mRNA from six unrelated Italian patients affected with fucosidosis were analyzed using two probes (AF3 and AF11B) of partial length cDNA coding for the lysosomal enzyme alpha-L-fucosidase. DNA from patient 2, digested with EcoRI, showed a variant pattern of hybridization caused by the loss of an EcoRI site. The same patient showed a markedly decreased amount of mRNA on Northern blot hybridization. Among the remaining patients, who showed no variation at the DNA level, two apparently lacked mRNA for alpha-L-fucosidase whereas the other three showed a transcript similar in size and amount to that observed in controls. These data confirm the genetic heterogeneity of the molecular defects causing fucosidosis in Italy.
