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

aimMucopolysaccharidosis type I is a lysosomal storage disorder that can result in significant disease burden, disability and premature death, if left untreated. The aim of this review was to elaborate on the diagnosis of mucopolysaccharidosis type I and the pros and cons of newborn screening.

methodsAn international working group was established to discuss ways to improve the early diagnosis of mucopolysaccharidosis type I. It consisted of 13 experts in paediatrics, rare diseases and inherited metabolic diseases from Europe and the Middle East.

resultsIt is becoming increasingly clearer that the delay between symptom onset and clinical diagnosis is considerable for mucopolysaccharidosis type I and other rare lysosomal storage disorders, despite numerous awareness campaigns since therapies became available. Diagnosis currently depends on recognising the signs and symptoms of the disease. The practice of newborn screening, which is being explored by pilot programmes around the world, enables early diagnosis and consequently early treatment. However, these studies have highlighted numerous new problems and pitfalls that must be faced before newborn screening becomes generally available.

conclusionNewborn screening for mucopolysaccharidosis type I offers the potential for early diagnosis and early pre-symptomatic treatment, but existing hurdles need to be overcome.
