Sphingosine-1-Phosphate Levels Are Higher in Male Patients with Non-Classic Fabry Disease.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Fabry disease is an X-linked lysosomal disease in which defects in the alpha-galactosidase A enzyme activity lead to the ubiquitous accumulation of glycosphingolipids. Whereas the classic disease is characterized by neuropathic pain, progressive renal failure, white matter lesions, cerebral stroke, and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), the non-classic phenotype, also known as cardiac variant, is almost exclusively characterized by HCM. Circulating sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) has controversially been associated with the Fabry cardiomyopathy. We measured serum S1P levels in 41 patients of the FFABRY cohort. S1P levels were higher in patients with a non-classic phenotype compared to those with a classic phenotype (200.3 [189.6−227.9] vs. 169.4 ng/mL [121.1−203.3], p = 0.02). In a multivariate logistic regression model, elevated S1P concentration remained statistically associated with the non-classic phenotype (OR = 1.03; p < 0.02), and elevated lysoGb3 concentration with the classic phenotype (OR = 0.95; p < 0.03). S1P levels were correlated with interventricular septum thickness (r = 0.46; p = 0.02). In a logistic regression model including S1P serum levels, phenotype, and age, age remained the only variable significantly associated with the risk of HCM (OR = 1.25; p = 0.001). S1P alone was not associated with cardiac hypertrophy but with the cardiac variant. The significantly higher S1P levels in patients with the cardiac variant compared to those with classic Fabry suggest the involvement of distinct pathophysiological pathways in the two phenotypes. S1P dosage could allow the personalization of patient management.
