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

backgroundFabry disease is an X-linked lysosomal storage disorder due to mutations in the gene encoding for alpha-galactosidase A, with subsequent accumulation of complex sphingolipids in multiple organs, including the heart. Female heterozygotes can develop cardiac involvement although this is usually milder and slower to progress compared with male hemizygotes. CASE SUMMARY: A 71-year-old woman with two separate pathological Fabry mutations (N215S, C202R; compound heterozygote) presented with progressive cardiac involvement despite enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) with Replagal, as demonstrated by troponin elevation and cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) findings: moderate segmental left ventricular dysfunction with wall thinning, low myocardial native T1, and extensive late gadolinium enhancement with co-located increased T2. DISCUSSION: We report for the first time, a detailed cardiac phenotype using CMR in a compound heterozygote Fabry patient with progressive cardiac involvement despite ERT.
