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

backgroundSphingolipidoses are rare inherited metabolic diseases belonging to lysosomal diseases. Early and accurate diagnosis is crucial for effective management and treatment. In this study, we aimed to develop a robust method to accelerate the diagnosis of these sphingolipidoses using dried blood spots and plasma.

methodWe employed high-resolution mass spectrometry coupled with liquid chromatography (LC-HRMS) to analyze 6 lysosphingolipids (GlcSph/Psychosine, LysoGb3, LysoSM, LysoSM509, LysoGM1, and LysoGM2) on dried blood spots and plasma samples. The method was used to measure the lysosphingolipid levels in a group of 30 control subjects and 204 samples from patients with sphingolipidoses (61 dB and 143 plasma) including Fabry, Gaucher, GM2 Gangliodosis, Niemann-Pick type A/B, and Niemann-Pick type C.

resultsThe developed multiplex LC-HRMS method demonstrated linearity, precision, and quantification performances particularly for GlcSph/Psychosine and LysoGb3 on samples including controls and patients with sphingolipidoses. LysoSM showed recovery variability, wherease LysoGM1 and LysoGM2 showed higher matrix effect.

conclusionOur study presents a high-resolution mass spectrometry method along with the established cutoff values, providing a valuable tool for targeted screening, accurate diagnosis, and monitoring sphingolipidoses. Furthermore, DBS showed reliable results that lay the path to a broader adoption for screening these diseases.
