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

Although Gaucher disease can be accompanied by Lewy pathology (LP) and extrapyramidal symptoms, it is unknown if LP exists in Fabry disease (FD), another progressive multisystem lysosomal storage disorder. We aimed to elucidate the distribution patterns of FD-related inclusions and LP in the brain of a 58-year-old cognitively unimpaired male FD patient suffering from predominant hypokinesia. Immunohistochemistry (CD77, α-synuclein, collagen IV) and neuropathological staging were performed on 100-µm sections. Tissue from the enteric or peripheral nervous system was unavailable. As controls, a second cognitively unimpaired 50-year-old male FD patient without LP or motor symptoms and 3 age-matched individuals were examined. Inclusion body pathology was semiquantitatively evaluated. Although Lewy neurites/bodies were not present in the 50-year-old individual or in controls, severe neuronal loss in the substantia nigra pars compacta and LP corresponding to neuropathological stage 4 of Parkinson disease was seen in the 58-year-old FD patient. Major cerebrovascular lesions and/or additional pathologies were absent in this individual. We conclude that Lewy body disease with parkinsonism can occur within the context of FD. Further studies determining the frequencies of both inclusion pathologies in large autopsy-controlled FD cohorts could help clarify the implications of both lesions for disease pathogenesis, potential spreading mechanisms, and therapeutic interventions.
