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

Enzyme replacement therapy is the only available treatment for Mucopolysaccharidosis type IVA (MPS IVA, Morquio syndrome). The treatment is lengthy and invasive involving weekly intravenous infusions of 4-5 h. This can cause significant disruption to normal family life so the provision of a safe and effective homecare service is essential. In order to deliver a safe service, robust standards must be in place; this includes appropriately trained members of homecare staff, detailed management for infusion related reactions (IRR) and appropriate venous access. In this report we demonstrate the criteria required to ensure a successful home treatment programme and describe our experience thus far.
