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

purposeGaucher disease (GD) is an autosomal recessive condition caused by insufficient glucocerebrosidase activity. The Gaucher Earlier Diagnosis Consensus (GED-C) initiative created a point-scoring system (PSS) to facilitate the early identification of GD based on significant indicators and covariables. This study aimed to evaluate the applicability and utility of the GED-C PSS in pediatric and young adult patients in Korea.

resultsThis study included both retrospective analysis and prospective recruitment. Subject recruitment involved 14 sites across 13 hospitals in Korea, where patients of any age meeting GED-C criteria were recruited, and blood samples were collected. Data of 513 subjects were analyzed and two patients were confirmed to have GD during prospective enrollment. The median age of participants was 10 years (range: 1 month to 40 years). Receiver operating characteristic analysis revealed a cutoff point of 6.5 for GED-C PSS (area under the curve of 0.9883) demonstrated high sensitivity (1.0) and specificity (0.97). A histogram indicated that the PSS scores of the two confirmed GD patients were distinct from those of other participants.

conclusionsThe study suggests that GED-C PSS shows potential for the early diagnosis of GD, supporting its broader clinical use for both children and adults.
