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

Fabry disease (FD) is a rare X-linked disorder characterised by abnormal progressive lysosomal deposition of globotriaosylceramide in a large variety of cell types. The central nervous system (CNS) is often involved in FD, with a wide spectrum of manifestations ranging from mild symptoms to more severe courses related to acute cerebrovascular events. In this review we present the current knowledge on brain imaging for this condition, with a comprehensive and critical description of its most common neuroradiological imaging findings. Moreover, we report results from studies that investigated brain physiopathology underlying this disorder by using advanced imaging techniques, suggesting possible future directions to further explore CNS involvement in FD patients. TEACHING POINTS: • Conventional neuroradiological findings in FD are aspecific. • White matter hyperintensities represent the more consistent brain imaging feature of FD • Abnormalities of the vasculature wall of posterior circulation are also consistent features. • The pulvinar sign is not reliable as a finding pathognomonic for FD. • Advanced imaging techniques have increased our knowledge about brain involvement in FD.
