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

Context: Vosoritide is the first approved targeted therapy for achondroplasia (ACH) based on increased annualized growth velocity in clinical trials. The aim of our project was an assessment of the real-world setting and treatment with vosoritide. Design: This was a 12-month, retrospective observational study on an inception cohort of 34 patients with ACH treated with vosoritide. Patients and Methods: Thirty-four patients with ACH (22 males; aged 2.8 to 15.3 years at treatment initiation) who received vosoritide treatment for at least 12 months at a specialized clinic for skeletal dysplasia in childhood were included in the analysis. Auxological measurements at baseline and after 12 months of therapy were converted into disease-specific (ACH) and general population [Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)] z-scores. Physical function assessed by a 6-minute walk test was converted into z-scores and compared to an unaffected reference cohort. Results: After 12 months of treatment, both ACH and CDC height z-scores showed significant increases, with mean changes (mean ± SD) of 0.52 ± 0.35 and 0.38 ± 0.44, respectively (both Conclusion: In a real-world setting, children with ACH showed significant improvements in growth and physical function after 12 months of treatment with vosoritide.
