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

BACKGROUND AND

aimThe lysosomal storage diseases are a group of monogenic diseases with multisystemic impairment and chronic progression induced by the deficiency of lysosomal acid hydrolases involved in the breakdown of various macromolecules. The accumulation occurs in the macrophages of the reticule-endothelial system and causes enlargement and functional impairment. The mainly involved organs are the brain, liver, spleen, bones, joints, airways, lungs, and heart. The aim of this study was to evaluate early symptoms, signs and the delay in the diagnosis of different lysosomal diseases.

methodsThe medical documentation of 188 patients with lysosomal storage disorders, aged 1-70 years, were analyzed. All these patients were specifically diagnosed, by enzyme and molecular assay.

resultsThe age of clinical signs onset varies in different type of lysosomal diseases, from the first months of life or early childhood in severe form, to adulthood in attenuated forms. The delay between the clinical signs onset and specific diagnosis ranged from 0.5 months to 57.91 years.

conclusionsThe lysosomal storage diseases are rare diseases with childhood onset, but these early signs and symptoms are not recognized and are often taken into account when the vital organs damage becomes manifest.
