A systematic literature review to evaluate the cardiac and cerebrovascular outcomes of patients with Fabry disease treated with agalsidase Beta.
Synthesis in Frontiers in cardiovascular medicine, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Background: Agalsidase beta is used to treat Fabry disease (FD); however, data on cardiac and cerebrovascular outcomes with agalsidase beta treatment come from studies with limited numbers of patients. Methods: A systematic literature review of studies reporting on the efficacy and effectiveness of agalsidase beta in FD was conducted. Studies were identified in searches of MEDLINE, Embase, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials from January 2000-June 2022. Outcomes of interest included cardiac structure and mass, cardiac events, and cerebrovascular events. Results: Fifty-two citations (41 studies) were included. Reductions in interventricular septal thickness (IVST) and/or left ventricular posterior wall thickness (LVPWT) were demonstrated in six studies (follow-up 1-6 years, Conclusion: Literature over the last 20 years indicates that agalsidase beta treatment may lead to stabilization or regression of cardiac structural thickness and mass, and reduction in cardiac and cerebrovascular events relative to placebo.
