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

Mucopolysaccharidosis IVA (MPS IVA; Morquio syndrome) is a lysosomal storage disorder and features systemic skeletal dysplasia that is caused by defective Nacetylgalactosamine-6-sulfate sulfatase (GALNS). Although there are convincing data for hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) in certain types of MPS, the studies are limited for MPS IVA and more data is still pending to show the efficacy/safety of HSCT. This study included 3 girls and 7 boys, with a median age of 75,5 months (35-186 months), who underwent allogeneic HSCT for severe MPS IVA between February 12, 2021, and March 10, 2023. Enzyme levels, height growth, the most involved organs (ear, eye, and heart), and the activities of daily living (ADL) scoring system were monitored to assess the benefit of HSCT. In a median follow-up of 20 months (9-34 months), there is no severe transplant-related adverse event was observed. In all cases, normal enzyme levels were reached after HSCT. During the short follow-up period, our cases showed an increase in stature and improvement in daily activity functions. Here we present the data of our HSCT experience in MPS IVA with promising results regarding both safety and efficacy. Although there are signs of amelioration with HSCT, we need more data and long-term follow-up to comment properly on the benefits of HSCT in MPS IVA.
