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

purposeTo report retinal findings in two patients with mucopolysaccharidosis type I (MPS I) receiving human recombinant alpha-l-iduronidase (Laronidase) as enzyme replacement therapy. OBSERVATIONS: Patient 1 had visual acuity 20/20 right eye, 20/25 left eye and unremarkable anterior segment and retinal examination. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) scanning demonstrated parafoveal thinning and subfoveal hyperreflectant material. Patient 2 had visual acuity 20/20 both eyes, with dense nuclear cataract both eyes. Retinal examination demonstrated bull's eye maculopathy both eyes. OCT scanning confirmed parafoveal atrophy and demonstrated similar appearing subfoveal hyperreflectant material, more prominent than in case 1. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPORTANCE: These two patients with MPS I receiving Laronidase treatment have developed bull's eye maculopathy changes and subfoveal deposition of hyperreflectant material despite excellent compliance and good tolerance of the standard dose of enzyme therapy for this disorder. Further studies are required to determine the nature of the material, the incidence and the effect of enzyme replacement therapy on these findings in patients with MPS I.
