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

backgroundGaucher disease (GD) is a rare autosomal recessive inherited, lysosomal storage disoder that involves liver, spleen, lung, bone, bone marrow even central nervous. However, GD associated membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis (MPGN) is seldom reported. CASE PRESENTATION: Here we described a case of 35-year-old man suffering from GD with hepatosplenomegaly, ascites, bone destruction, myelofibrosis and MPGN. Renal biopsy revealed MPGN and Gaucher cells presented in the glomeruli capillaries. β-glucosidase activity was 1.95nmol/1 h/mg and gene detection demonstrated that one homozygous pathogenic variant Leu483Pro in GBA. He received the treatment of oral prednisone and mycophenolate mofetil and his ascites and renal outcomes had been significantly improved.

conclusionsTherapy of prednisone and mycophenolate mofetil may be an optional choice for patients with Gaucher disease who have no opportunity to use enzyme treatment.
