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

Pompe disease (OMIM 232300), a glycogen storage disorder caused by deficiency in the lysosomal enzyme acid alpha-glucosidase (EC 3.2.1.20), results in weakness and cardiomyopathy in infants affected with the classic form. Although the primary disease manifestations are due to glycogen accumulation in skeletal and cardiac muscle, glycogen also accumulates in a variety of additional tissues. To improve our understanding of disease pathogenesis in long-term survivors, we reviewed postmortem results for three infants with the classic form of Pompe disease. We have observed a number of new complications in long-term survivors of infantile-onset Pompe disease, and we focused this postmortem study on pathological correlates. Findings in survivors include cardiac arrhythmias, which may be related to glycogen accumulation in cardiac conduction tissue; urinary incontinence, likely due to glycogen accumulation in smooth muscle; and refractory errors, possibly related to accumulation in ocular structures. These observations provide potential pathophysiologic correlates for complications in long-term survivors of infantile Pompe disease.
