Newborn Screening Program for Mucopolysaccharidosis Type II and Long-Term Follow-Up of the Screen-Positive Subjects in Taiwan.
Article in Journal of personalized medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers.
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
backgroundMucopolysaccharidosis II (MPS II) is an X-linked disorder resulting from a deficiency in lysosomal enzyme iduronate-2-sulfatase (IDS), which causes the accumulation of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) in the lysosomes of many tissues and organs, leading to progressive cellular dysfunction. An MPS II newborn screening program has been available in Taiwan since 2015. The aim of the current study was to collect and analyze the long-term follow-up data of the screen-positive subjects in this program.
methodsFrom August 2015 to April 2022, 548,624 newborns were screened for MPS II by dried blood spots using tandem mass spectrometry, of which 202 suspected infants were referred to our hospital for confirmation. The diagnosis of MPS II was confirmed by IDS enzyme activity assay in leukocytes, quantitative determination of urinary GAGs by mass spectrometry, and identification of the
resultsAmong the 202 referred infants, 10 (5%) with seven
conclusionsBecause of the progressive nature of MPS II, early diagnosis via a newborn screening program and timely initiation of ERT and/or HSCT before the occurrence of irreversible organ damage may lead to better clinical outcomes. The findings of the current study could serve as baseline data for the analysis of the long-term effects of ERT and HSCT in these patients.
