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

Hunter syndrome (mucopolysaccharidosis II [MPS II]), a deficiency of iduronate-2-sulfatase (IDS), causes an accumulation of glycosaminoglycans, giving rise to multiple systemic and CNS symptoms. The currently available therapies, idursulfase and idursulfase beta, are ineffective against the CNS symptoms because they cannot pass the blood-brain barrier (BBB). A novel IDS fused with anti-human transferrin receptor antibody (JR-141) has been shown to penetrate the BBB and ameliorate learning deficits in model mice. This first-in-human study evaluated the pharmacokinetics, safety, and potential efficacy of JR-141 in 14 patients with MPS II. In a dose-escalation study performed in two patients, JR-141 plasma concentrations were dose dependent and peaked at 3 hr after initiation of each infusion, and no or only mild adverse reactions were exhibited. In a subsequent 4-week evaluation at two dose levels, the plasma concentration profiles were similar between the first and final administration, indicating no drug accumulation. Levels of heparan sulfate (HS) and dermatan sulfate (DS) were suppressed in both plasma and urine and HS levels were significantly decreased in cerebrospinal fluid. Two patients experienced some amelioration of neurocognitive and motor symptoms. These results suggest that the drug successfully penetrates the BBB and could have CNS efficacy.
