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

backgroundMucopolysaccharidoses (MPS) are a group of inborn errors of metabolism that are progressive and usually result in irreversible skeletal, visceral, and/or brain damage, highlighting a need for early diagnosis.

methodsThis pilot study analyzed 2862 dried blood spots (DBS) from newborns and 14 DBS from newborn patients with MPS (MPS I, n = 7; MPS II, n = 2; MPS III, n = 5). Disaccharides were produced from polymer GAGs by digestion with chondroitinase B, heparitinase, and keratanase II. Heparan sulfate (0S, NS), dermatan sulfate (DS) and mono- and di-sulfated KS were measured by liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). Median absolute deviation (MAD) was used to determine cutoffs to distinguish patients from controls. Cutoffs were defined as median + 7× MAD from general newborns.

resultsThe cutoffs were as follows: HS-0S > 90 ng/mL; HS-NS > 23 ng/mL, DS > 88 ng/mL; mono-sulfated KS > 445 ng/mL; di-sulfated KS > 89 ng/mL and ratio di-KS in total KS > 32 %. All MPS I and II samples were above the cutoffs for HS-0S, HS-NS, and DS, and all MPS III samples were above cutoffs for HS-0S and HS-NS. The rate of false positives for MPS I and II was 0.03 % based on a combination of HS-0S, HS-NS, and DS, and for MPS III was 0.9 % based upon a combination of HS-0S and HS-NS.

conclusionsCombination of levels of two or more different GAGs improves separation of MPS patients from unaffected controls, indicating that GAG measurements are potentially valuable biomarkers for newborn screening for MPS.
