Reversal of life-threatening hepatopulmonary syndrome in Gaucher disease by imiglucerase enzyme replacement therapy.
Article in Molecular genetics and metabolism reports, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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
Advanced liver disease complicated by hepatopulmonary syndrome is a recognized complication of Gaucher disease. Macrophage-targeted, recombinant enzyme replacement therapy is effective in reversing clinical manifestations attributed to the accumulation of glycolipid-laden macrophages but it is not known whether advanced fibrotic features of the disease can be ameliorated. We describe a splenectomized patient with Gaucher disease who developed massive hepatomegaly, cirrhosis of the liver and life-threatening hepatopulmonary syndrome. Treatment with Imiglucerase enzyme replacement therapy resulted in dramatic reversal of hepatopulmonary syndrome and liver disease. Our report suggests that Gaucher disease pathology involving advanced fibrosis and life-threatening complications can be reversed by imiglucerase enzyme therapy.
