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

Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), dermatan sulfate (DS), heparan sulfate (HS), and keratan sulfate (KS), are the primary biomarkers in patients with mucopolysaccharidoses (MPS); however, little is known about other biomarkers. To explore potential biomarkers and their correlation with GAGs, blood samples were collected from 46 MPS II patients, 34 MPS IVA patients, and 5 MPS IVB patients. We evaluated the levels of 8 pro-inflammatory factors (EGF, IL-1β, IL-6, MIP-1α, TNF-α, MMP-1, MMP-2, and MMP-9), collagen type II, and DS, HS (HS0S, HSNS), and KS (mono-sulfated, di-sulfated) in blood. Eight biomarkers measured were significantly elevated in untreated MPS II patients, compared with those in normal controls: EGF, IL-1β, IL-6, HS0S, HSNS, DS, mono-sulfated KS, and di-sulfated KS. The same eight biomarkers remained elevated in ERT-treated patients. However, only three biomarkers remained elevated in post-HSCT MPS II patients: EGF, mono-sulfated KS, and di-sulfated KS. Post-HSCT patients with MPS II showed that IL-1β and IL-6 were normalized as HS and DS levels decreased. Eight biomarkers were significantly elevated in untreated MPS IVA patients: EGF, IL-1β, IL-6, MIP-1α, MMP-9, HSNS, mono-sulfated KS, and di-sulfated KS, and four biomarkers were elevated in MPS IVA patients under ERT: IL-6, TNF-α, mono-sulfated KS, and di-sulfated KS. There was no reduction of KS in the ERT-treated MPS IVA patient, compared with untreated patients. Two biomarkers were significantly elevated in untreated MPS IVB patients: IL-6 and TNF-α. Reversely, collagen type II level was significantly decreased in untreated and ERT-treated MPS II patients and untreated MPS IVA patients. In conclusion, selected pro-inflammatory factors can be potential biomarkers in patients with MPS II and IV as well as GAGs levels.
