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

Pompe disease is a neuromuscular disease caused by a deficiency of the lysosomal enzyme acid alpha-glucosidase leading to lysosomal and cytoplasmic glycogen accumulation in neurons and striated muscle. In the decade since availability of first-generation enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) a better understanding of the clinical spectrum of disease has emerged. The most severe form of early onset disease is typically identified with symptoms in the first year of life, known as infantile-onset Pompe disease (IOPD). Infants are described at floppy babies with cardiac hypertrophy in the first few months of life. A milder form with late onset (LOPD) of symptoms is mostly free of cardiac involvement with slower rate of progression. Glycogen accumulation in the CNS and skeletal muscle is observed in both IOPD and LOPD. In both circumstances, multi-system disease (principally motoneuron and myopathy) leads to progressive weakness with associated respiratory and feeding difficulty. In IOPD the untreated natural history leads to cardiorespiratory failure and death in the first year of life. In the current era of ERT clinical outcomes are improved, yet, many patients have an incomplete response and a substantial unmet need remains. Since the neurological manifestations of the disease are not amenable to peripheral enzyme replacement, we set out to better understand the pathophysiology and potential for treatment of disease manifestations using adeno-associated virus (AAV)-mediated gene transfer, with the first clinical gene therapy studies initiated by our group in 2006. This review focuses on the preclinical studies and clinical study findings which are pertinent to the development of a comprehensive gene therapy strategy for both IOPD and LOPD. Given the advent of newborn screening, a significant focus of our recent work has been to establish the basis for repeat administration of AAV vectors to enhance neuromuscular therapeutic efficacy over the life span.
