Aortic root dilatation in patients with mucopolysaccharidoses and the impact of enzyme replacement therapy.
Article in Heart and vessels, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 papers.
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.
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
Mucopolysaccharidoses (MPS) are disorders characterized by impaired glycosaminoglycan (GAG) catabolism as a consequence of a deficiency or the absence of lysosomal enzymes directly involved in their degradation. Multiple organ systems are involved in MPS, including the cardiovascular system. Recently, aortic root dilatation (ARD) has been described in these patients. Thus, we reviewed aortic root diameter measurements in 69 MPS patients from a single center from 2000 to 2016. Aortic root diameter z scores were calculated based on data published by Colan et al. according to the body surface area (BSA) determined using the Haycock formula. The overall incidence of ARD in MPS patients was 39.1%. Higher mean z scores were present in patients with MPS IVA and VI when compared to MPS I and II. Aortic root z scores were higher in older MPS IVA patients, which may suggest a progressive ARD change in this MPS type. No significant differences were found before and after enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) in 11 patients with available data (2 with MPS I; 4 with MPS II; 2 with MPS IVA, and 3 with MPS VI). This work provides further evidence that ARD is common in different types of MPS, being especially evident in MPS IVA, but with a significant occurrence also in MPS VI.
