Urinary Myeloid Bodies as a Biomarker for Early Diagnosis and Monitoring of Enzyme Replacement Therapy in Fabry Disease.

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
Introduction: The prevalence of urinary myeloid bodies in Fabry disease patients and their correlation with renal involvement remains unclear. Methods: This single-center, retrospective study included 25 patients with Fabry disease and 27 controls. We analyzed 24-h urine samples for the presence of urinary myeloid bodies and evaluated clinical data, including serum creatinine, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), 24-h urinary protein levels, α-Gal A, and Lyso-GL-3. Seven Fabry patients underwent analysis of urine samples before and after 1 year of enzyme replacement therapy (ERT). Results: Urinary myeloid bodies were detected in 84% of Fabry patients (21 out of 25), with no significant gender differences. None of the healthy controls or patients with other renal disease patients had urinary myeloid bodies. Among the Fabry patients with myeloid bodies, 48% had no proteinuria, and 52% were in CKD1 stage G1. Furthermore, urinary myeloid bodies were detected in 4 patients under the age of 20, despite the absence of or only minimal proteinuria, and these patients all exhibited a substantial number of myeloid bodies. After 1 year of ERT, significant reductions in both the count ( Conclusion: Urinary myeloid bodies are specific to Fabry disease and are associated with early renal injury, even in the absence of proteinuria. These findings suggest that urinary myeloid bodies may serve as a noninvasive biomarker for the early diagnosis of Fabry disease and for monitoring the efficacy of ERT.
