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

Globoid cell leukodystrophy (GLD), or Krabbe's disease, is a debilitating and always fatal pediatric neurodegenerative disease caused by a mutation in the gene encoding the hydrolytic enzyme galactosylceramidase (GALC). In the absence of GALC, progressive loss of myelin and accumulation of a neurotoxic substrate lead to incapacitating loss of motor and cognitive function and death, typically by 2 years of age. Currently, there is no cure. Recent convincing evidence of the therapeutic potential of combining gene and cell therapies in the murine model of GLD has accelerated the requirement for validated markers of disease to evaluate therapeutic efficacy. Here we demonstrate clinically relevant and quantifiable measures of central (CNS) and peripheral (PNS) nervous system disease progression in the naturally occurring canine model of GLD. As measured by brainstem auditory-evoked response testing, GLD dogs demonstrated a significant increase in I-V interpeak latency and hearing threshold at all time points. Motor nerve conduction velocities (NCVs) in GLD dogs were significantly lower than normal by 12-16 weeks of age, and sensory NCV was significantly lower than normal by 8-12 weeks of age, serving as a sensitive indicator of peripheral nerve dysfunction. Post-mortem histological evaluations confirmed neuroimaging and electrodiagnostic assessments and detailed loss of myelin and accumulation of storage product in the CNS and the PNS. Additionally, cerebrospinal fluid psychosine concentrations were significantly elevated in GLD dogs, demonstrating potential as a biochemical marker of disease. These data demonstrate that CNS and PNS disease progression can be quantified over time in the canine model of GLD with tools identical to those used to assess human patients. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
