Morquio Syndrome Presenting with Dural Band Pathology: A Case Report.
Article in Journal of laboratory physicians, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Morquio syndrome is caused by the deficiency of N-acetylgalactosamine-6-sulfate sulfatase (GALNS) enzyme, which is required for the catabolism of glycosaminoglycans (namely, chondroitin-6-sulfate and keratan sulfate). Pathogenic accumulation of these glycosaminoglycans occurs throughout the body. The various organs and tissues affected are bones, cartilage, tendon, teeth, trachea and lungs, heart, cornea, skin and connective tissues. Here, we present a case of Morquio syndrome. A 16-year-old boy presented with multiple skeletal abnormalities, including cervicomedullary compression by dorsal dural band in foramen magnum. The dural band was resected during the surgery to relieve compression and sent for histopathological examination. This case report not only reviews the clinical features and shows rare dural band histopathological findings but also mentions a note on the future therapies of this syndrome.
