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

backgroundGlycogen storage diseases (GSDs) with liver involvement are complex disorders with similar manifestations. Currently, the main diagnostic methods such as tissue diagnosis, either histopathology or enzyme assay, are invasive. Meanwhile, GSDs are diseases with significant genetic heterogeneity, and gene-sequencing methods can be more useful. This systematic review aims to review the literature to assess the value of massively parallel sequencing in the diagnosis of GSDs on patients with previously undiagnosed hepatic involvement.

methodsRelevant studies identified in the MEDLINE/PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, Scopus, and Web of Science Core Collection databases up to July 2019 with no time and language restrictions. Publications were included in the review if they analyzed GSDs with hepatic involvement (GSD I, GSD III, GSD IV, GSD VI, GSD IX), using targeted gene sequencing (TGS) or exome sequencing (ES).

resultsEleven studies were included in this systematic review. ES demonstrated a 93% diagnostic yield. These methods correctly distinguished all types of pathogenic variants. The diagnostic yield of the TGS method was around 79.7%.

conclusionsAccording to our results, TGS analysis can be considered as the first-line diagnostic method with valuable results and ES can be used to diagnose complex cases of GSD with liver involvement. Overall, these molecular methods are considered as accurate diagnostic tools, which expedite correct diagnosis and treatment with significant cost-effectiveness by reducing unnecessary and inaccurate tests.
