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

objectiveGaucher disease (GD) is a rare inborn error of metabolism, classified as a lipid storage disorders. This disease is caused by a deficiency in glucocerebrosidase enzyme. It has been classified according to the presence or absence of neurological symptoms into the following types: type 1 non-neuropathic, type 2 acute infantile neuropathic and type 3 or chronic neuropathic. We evaluated neurological symptoms in patients with GD1 and GD3 and compared both of these groups. MATERIALS &

methodsEleven patients were identified according to their clinical presentation and the presence of disease confirmed by genetic testing, from 2006-2016, at the Mofid Children Hospital Clinic, Tehran, Iran. We included eight patients with GD 1 and three patients with GD3. Careful neurological examination was performed on these patients during treatment by pediatric neurologist.

resultsPatients with GD1 had some neurological symptoms including cognitive impairment, developmental disability, behavioral disorder, microcephaly and increased deep tendon reflexes (DTR). Of course, neurological signs in patients with type 3 of GD were different and were included seizures, supranuclear gaze palsy, cerebellar signs, and ataxia.

conclusionThe current nomenclature for 3 types of Gaucher disease does not meet all clinical symptoms. Patients with GD1 display many neurological deficits in young ages not reported adequately earlier.
