Epidemiology of Gaucher Disease in France: Trends in Incidence, Mortality, Management, and Complications Over Three Decades.

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
Gaucher disease (GD) is a rare autosomal-recessive lysosomal disorder caused by glucocerebrosidase deficiency. In this study, we described the epidemiology of GD in France over more than three decades. The French GD registry (FGDR) includes all known patients with GD in France. We described patients' characteristics, and estimated the incidence, prevalence, and standardized mortality ratios of GD. We compared the evolution of diagnostic methods, diagnosis delays, and treatment over time, and assessed the incidence of bone events, malignancies, and Parkinson's disease. Between 1980 and 2024, 706 confirmed GD were included. In 2024, 447 patients were alive (413 type 1, 34 type 3). GD incidence was 0.21/1 000 000 PY, and GD prevalence was 0.61 and 0.05/100 000 inhabitants for type 1 and 3, respectively. The standardized mortality ratio was 0.70 for type 1 GD and 16.23 for type 3 GD. Over time, we observed a decrease in the delay between first symptoms and diagnosis (5.4 years before 2000; 0.8 after 2020; p = 0.001), with enzyme assays becoming the primary diagnostic method, a reduction in splenectomies, and a gradual increase in the use of substrate reduction therapy in type 1 GD. The incidences of bone events, malignancies, and Parkinson's disease were 23, 2.7, and 1.07 per 1000 person-years, respectively. This study provides updated epidemiological data on GD in France, showing improvements in disease knowledge, faster and less invasive diagnoses, and reassuring outcomes for type 1 GD, with lower mortality and a relatively low incidence of malignancies and Parkinson's disease.
