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

Gaucher disease is caused by mutations in the GBA gene, which encodes for the lysosomal enzyme β-glucocerebrosidase (GCase), resulting in the accumulation of storage material in visceral organs and in some cases the brain of affected patients. While there is a commercially available treatment for the systemic manifestations, neuropathology still remains untreatable. We previously demonstrated that gene therapy represents a feasible therapeutic tool for the treatment of the neuronopathic forms of Gaucher disease (nGD). In order to further enhance the therapeutic affects to the central nervous system, we systemically delivered an adeno-associated virus (AAV) serotype 9 carrying the human GBA gene under control of a neuron-specific promoter to an nGD mouse model. Gene therapy increased the life span of treated animals, rescued the lethal neurodegeneration, normalized the locomotor behavioural defects and ameliorated the visceral pathology. Together, these results provided further indication of gene therapy as a possible effective treatment option for the neuropathic forms of Gaucher disease.
