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

backgroundThis study presented a 3 years old boy with Gaucher disease (GD) who was treated with enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) for 19 months and then developed multiple Gaucheroma. Review of literature was performed simultaneously.

methodsThe medical chart and literature were reviewed. A boy presented at the age of 15 months with anemia, thrombocytopenia, and hepatosplenomegaly. GD was confirmed by enzyme assay and gene mutations. ERT was administered right after the diagnosis. When the boy was 3 years old, multiple masses were discovered during a regular checkup abdominal MRI and biopsy revealed Gaucheroma. We also reviewed 20 GD patients with Gaucheroma and Gaucher cell infiltrated lymphadenopathies.

conclusionGaucheroma is a rare condition of regularly treated GD patients. This patient even showed poor response to doubled ERT doses. The imaging studies are necessary for Gaucher patients to detect Gaucheroma and determine their malignancy. Regular checkups are recommended in all GD patients even with regular treatment, due to the possibility of having deteriorating change, like Gaucheroma.
