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

Krabbe disease is an autosomal recessive disorder resulting from defects in the lysosomal enzyme galactocerebrosidase (GALC). GALC deficiency leads to severe neurological features. The only treatment for presymptomatic infantile patients and later-onset patients is hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). This treatment is less than ideal with most patients eventually developing problems with gait and expressive language. Several naturally occurring animal models are available, including twitcher (twi) mice, which have been used for many treatment trials. Previous studies demonstrated that multiple injections of AAVrh10-GALC into the central nervous system (CNS) of neonatal twi mice resulted in significant improvements. Recently we showed that one i.v. injection of AAVrh10-GALC on PND10 resulted in normal GALC activity in the CNS and high activity in the peripheral nervous system (PNS). In the present study, a single i.v. injection of AAVrh10-GALC was given 1 day after bone marrow transplantation (BMT) on PND10. The mice show greatly extended lifespan and normal behavior with improved CNS and PNS findings. Since HSCT is the standard of care in human patients, adding this single i.v. injection of viral vector may greatly improve the treatment outcome.
