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

GM1-gangliosidosis, a lysosomal storage disorder, is associated with ~ 161 missense variants in the GLB1 gene. Affected patients present with β-galactosidase (β-Gal) deficiency in lysosomes. Loss of function in ER-retained misfolded enzymes with missense variants is often due to subcellular mislocalization. Deoxygalactonojirimycin (DGJ) and its derivatives are pharmaceutical chaperones that directly bind to mutated β-Gal in the ER promoting its folding and trafficking to lysosomes and thus enhancing its activity. An Emirati child has been diagnosed with infantile GM1-gangliosidosis carrying the reported p.D151Y variant. We show that p.D151Y β-Gal in patient's fibroblasts retained < 1% residual activity due to impaired processing and trafficking. The amino acid substitution significantly affected the enzyme conformation; however, p.D151Y β-Gal was amenable for partial rescue in the presence of glycerol or at reduced temperature where activity was enhanced with ~ 2.3 and 7 folds, respectively. The butyl (NB-DGJ) and nonyl (NN-DGJ) derivatives of DGJ chaperoning function were evaluated by measuring their IC
