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

Mucopolysaccharidoses (MPS) are a subtype of lysosomal storage disorders (LSDs) characterized by the deficiency of the enzyme involved in the breakdown of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs). Mucopolysaccharidosis type I (MPS I, Hurler Syndrome) was endorsed by the U.S. Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services for universal newborn screening (NBS) in February 2016. Its endorsement exemplifies the need to enhance the accuracy of diagnostic testing for disorders that are considered for NBS. The progression of MPS disorders typically incudes irreversible CNS involvement, severe bone dysplasia, and cardiac and respiratory issues. Patients with MPS have a significantly decreased quality of life if untreated and require timely diagnosis and management for optimal outcomes. NBS provides the opportunity to diagnose and initiate treatment plans for MPS patients as early as possible. Most newborns with MPS are asymptomatic at birth; therefore, it is crucial to have biomarkers that can be identified in the newborn. At present, there are tiered methods and different instrumentation available for this purpose. The screening of quick, cost-effective, sensitive, and specific biomarkers in patients with MPS at birth is important. Rapid newborn diagnosis enables treatments to maximize therapeutic efficacy and to introduce immune tolerance during the neonatal period. Currently, newborn screening for MPS I and II has been implemented and/or in pilot testing in several countries. In this review article, historical aspects of NBS for MPS and the prospect of newborn screening for MPS are described, including the potential tiers of screening.
