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

BACKGROUND/

aimsPompe disease is a rare metabolic disorder caused by deficiency of the lysosomal enzyme acid alpha-glycosidase (GAA). The late onset form of the disease is characterized by muscle weakness and respiratory involvement of variable severity. The aim of this short communication is to highlight the clinical variability of Pompe disease within siblings suffering from the disease. CASE REPORTS: We report three pairs of siblings with late-onset Pompe disease presenting with different clinical phenotypes within the spectrum of disease phenotypes.

conclusionClinical manifestations in Pompe disease within the same family can be very different. Clinicians should investigate patients' siblings for symptoms throughout the entire spectrum of the disease in order to avoid delays in the diagnosis and to pick-up mildly affected persons as early as possible, when they can benefit the most from enzyme replacement therapy.
