Biochemical diagnosis of mucopolysaccharidosis in a Mexican reference center.
Article in Genetics and molecular biology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Mucopolysaccharidoses (MPS) are a group of genetic disorders, each resulting from the deficiency of one of the lysosomal enzymes that catabolizes mucopolysaccharides. For the accurate diagnosis of the disease, the quantification of a specific enzymatic activity is needed. In the present study, we analyzed seven MPS over several periods of time ranging from 2 to 5 years in a reference center in Mexico. During this time, a total of 761 samples belonging to 505 individuals with suspected MPS were analyzed. A total of 198 (26.01%) positive results were found. Among these, MPS IVA accounted for the highest frequency of positive results (49.10%), followed by MPS III (17.69%, IIIA: 11.80% and IIIB: 5.89%). Adjusting for the number of births per year, the estimated incidence per 100,000 births for MPS analyzed were as follows: MPS I: 0.19, MPS II: 0.15, MPS IIIA: 0.26, MPS IIIB: 0.13, MPS IVA: 1.10, MPS VI: 0.17 and MPS VII: 0.23, and the combined estimated incidence of MPS was 2.23 per 100,000 births; however, this incidence seems to be highly underestimated when compared with the results of newborn screenings.
