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

The mucopolysaccharidoses are a heterogeneous group of inherited lysosomal storage disorders, characterized by the accumulation of undegraded glycosaminoglycans in various organs, leading to tissue damage. Mucopolysaccharidoses include eight individual disorders (IS [Scheie syndrome], IH [Hurler syndrome], II, III, IV, VI, VII and IX). They have autosomal-recessive transmission with the exception of mucopolysaccharidosis II, which is X-linked. Each individual disorder has a wide spectrum of phenotypic variation, depending on the specific mutation, from very mild to very severe. The skeletal and central nervous systems are particularly affected. The typical clinical presentation includes organomegaly, dysostosis multiplex with short trunk dwarfism, mental retardation and developmental delay. In this article, we review the neuroimaging manifestations of the different types of mucopolysaccharidoses including the dysostosis multiplex of the skull and spine as well as the various central nervous system complications. These include white matter injury, enlargement of the perivascular spaces, hydrocephalus, brain atrophy, characteristic enlargement of the subarachnoid spaces as well as compressive myelopathy. The correlation between several of the neuroimaging features and disease severity remains controversial, without well-established imaging biomarkers at this time. Imaging has, however, a crucial role in monitoring disease progression, in particular craniocervical junction stenosis, cord compression and hydrocephalus, because this allows for timely intervention before permanent damage occurs.
