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

We report a case of a 6-year old girl with known type 3 Gaucher's Disease on enzyme replacement therapy who developed bilateral, symmetric osteolytic lesions in her humeri and femurs. While this manifestation of Gaucher's disease has been previously documented, it is an exceedingly rare variation. We observe that this patient shares 2 commonalities with 3 other patients reported in the literature to present with this phenotype. First, the patient's L444P/L444P genotype, present in approximately 11% of all Gaucher's patients, was also seen in these other patients. Second, like the other patients, this patient was treated with enzyme replacement therapy. It is unknown whether there is a correlation between these 2 independent variables and this rare phenotype, and further investigation may be warranted.
