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.

Abstract

introductionFabry disease (FD) is a rare lysosomal storage disorder that is associated with pain and progressive damage to the renal, cardiac, and cerebrovascular systems. Enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) is one of the treatment options for FD and the most recently approved ERT agent, pegunigalsidase alfa, has shown clinical efficacy in three phase 3 clinical trials of adults with FD: BALANCE, BRIDGE, and BRIGHT. Recent published guidelines support the mapping of health utility state data to the EuroQol-5 Dimension-3 Level (EQ-5D-3L) index to align with the preferred methodology used by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE). Therefore, the primary objective of this study was to estimate EQ-5D-3L values in clinical trials of pegunigalsidase alfa for FD for future cost-utility analyses.

methodsA mixed effects model was developed to predict values derived from EQ-5D-3L for the following health states used in cost-utility analyses: no Fabry clinical event (FCE)/no pain-related adverse event (AE), pain-related AE, cardiac FCE, cerebrovascular FCE, and renal FCE.

resultsThe baseline EQ-5D-3L utility value had a statistically significant (p < 0.0001) impact on utility values, whereas study, age, sex, disease type, treatment arm, kidney function, and serious AE were not statistically significant. Health state utility values with 95% confidence intervals (CI) for the final model were as follows: no FCE/no pain-related AE, 0.8005 (0.7675, 0.8334); pain-related AE, 0.7737 (0.7262, 0.8211); cardiac FCE, 0.7189 (0.6274, 0.8103); cerebrovascular FCE, 0.7923 (0.6633, 0.9212); and renal FCE, 0.6881 (0.3887, 0.9874).

conclusionsThe utility values generated by the present study are generally in line with EQ-5D values in the FD literature and can be used to inform both economic evaluations and our understanding of the impact that FD has on quality of life.
