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

Metachromatic leukodystrophy (MLD) is a lysosomal storage disease caused by deficient arylsulfatase A (ASA) activity, which leads to neuronal sulfatide accumulation and motor and cognitive deterioration. Intrathecal delivery of a recombinant human ASA (TAK-611, formerly SHP611) is under development as a potential therapy for MLD. We used serum and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) TAK-611 concentrations measured during the phase I/II trial of intrathecal TAK-611 to develop a pharmacokinetic (PK) model describing drug disposition. CSF data were well characterized by a two-compartment model in the central nervous system (CNS); a single central compartment described the serum data. Estimated parameters suggested rapid distribution of TAK-611 from CSF into the putative brain tissue compartment, with persistence in the brain between doses (median distributive and terminal half-lives in the CNS: 1.02 and 477 hours, respectively). This model provides a valuable basis for understanding the PK distribution of TAK-611 and for PK/pharmacodynamic analyses of functional outcomes.
