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

ALG1-CDG (formerly CDG-Ik) is a subtype of congenital disorders of glycosylation (CDG) where the genetic defect disrupts the synthesis of the lipid-linked oligosaccharide precursor required for N-glycosylation. The initial step in the investigation for these disorders involves the demonstration of hypoglycosylated serum transferrin (TF). There are no specific biomarkers of this CDG subtype known to date. An LC/MS approach was used to analyze sera from patients with ALG1-CDG, PMM2-CDG, suspected CDG, and individuals with alcohol abuse. We show mass spectrometric data combined with data from enzymatic digestions that suggest the presence of a tetrasaccharide consisting of two N-acetylglucosamines, one galactose, and one sialic acid, appearing on serum TF, is a biomarker of this particular CDG subtype. This is the first time analysis of serum TF can suggest a specific CDG type I subtype and we suggest this tetrasaccharide be used in the clinic to guide the ALG1-CDG diagnostic process.
