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

objectiveFabry disease, a rare X-linked disorder, can lead to exercise intolerance. In Taiwan, the cardiac variant of Fabry disease has a significantly higher prevalence than the classic variant. The cardiac variant of Fabry disease primarily involves the heart. Enzyme replacement therapy has been used to treat both variants. We aimed to study the impact of enzyme replacement therapy on exercise and cardiac structures between the classic (CL-FD) and cardiac variant (CV-FD) Fabry disease. DESIGN AND

methodsRetrospective analysis of 2 groups of patients with Fabry disease (5 patients with the classic variant and 5 with the cardiac variant), who were undergoing enzyme replacement therapy. Patients were assessed annually for 3 years using symptom-limited cycle ergometry and echocardiography.

resultsSubjects were 5 women, mean age 53 (standard deviation (SD) 14.05) years with CL-FD Fabry disease, and 5 men, mean age 65 (SD 2.35) years with CV-FD. The percentage of peak oxygen consumption to predicted value for all included patients was significantly lower (78.78% (SD 12.72)) than 100%. Annual serial measurement showed that peak metabolic equivalent and percentage of peak oxygen consumptiondecreased significantly over a period of 3 years in patients with CV-FD (

conclusionPeak exercise capacity of the patients with Fabry disease was lower than that of normal peers. Peak exercise capacity decreased over time.
