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

backgroundPompe disease is a glycogen storage disease primarily affecting striated muscles. Despite its main manifestation in muscles, patients with Pompe disease may exhibit non-muscle symptoms, such as hearing loss, suggesting potential involvement of sensory organs or the nervous system due to glycogen accumulation.

aimsThis study aimed to evaluate the presence of concomitant small and large fiber neuropathy in patients with Pompe disease.

methodsIn this case series study, nine patients with Pompe disease without complaints of neuropathy were evaluated. Small fiber neuropathy was assessed using the Small Fiber Neuropathy Screening List (SFNSL) and SUDOSCAN

resultsSmall fiber neuropathy was detected in seven patients (77.8%) according to the SFNSL. Three patients (3/9, approximately 30%) exhibited positive electrophysiological tests, including SSR, SUDOSCAN

conclusionsThis study indicates that neuropathy can be a comorbid condition in Pompe disease, emphasizing the importance of screening for this disabling condition.
