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

Phosphoglucomutase 1 (PGM1) deficiency results in a mixed phenotype of a Glycogen Storage Disorder and a Congenital Disorder of Glycosylation (CDG). Screening for abnormal glycosylation has identified more than 40 patients, manifesting with a broad clinical and biochemical spectrum which complicates diagnosis. Together with the availability of D-galactose as dietary therapy, there is an urgent need for specific glycomarkers for early diagnosis and treatment monitoring. We performed glycomics profiling by high-resolution QTOF mass spectrometry in a series of 19 PGM1-CDG patients, covering a broad range of biochemical and clinical severity. Bioinformatics and statistical analysis were used to select glycomarkers for diagnostics and define glycan-indexes for treatment monitoring. Using 3 transferrin glycobiomarkers, all PGM1-CDG patients were diagnosed with 100% specificity and sensitivity. Total plasma glycoprofiling showed an increase in high mannose glycans and fucosylation, while global galactosylation and sialylation were severely decreased. For treatment monitoring, we defined 3 glycan-indexes, reflecting normal glycosylation, a lack of complete glycans (LOCGI) and of galactose residues (LOGI). These indexes showed improved glycosylation upon D-galactose treatment with a fast and near-normalization of the galactose index (LOGI) in 6 out of 8 patients and a slower normalization of the LOCGI in all patients. Total plasma glycoprofiling showed improvement of the global high mannose glycans, fucosylation, sialylation, and galactosylation status on D-galactose treatment. Our study indicates specific glycomarkers for diagnosis of mildly and severely affected PGM1-CDG patients, and to monitor the glycan-specific effects of D-galactose therapy.
