Optimizing diagnosis and management of patients with ENPP1 deficiency: an expert opinion.
Review in Journal of endocrinological investigation, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
purposeEctonucleotide pyrophosphate/phosphodiesterase family member 1 (ENPP1) deficiency is a rare genetic disorder caused by loss-of-function ENPP1 gene mutations. Characterized by abnormally low circulating inorganic pyrophosphate concentrations, bone hypomineralization, soft tissue calcification, and arterial stenosis, ENPP1 deficiency is associated with a phenotypic spectrum that includes generalized arterial calcification of infancy type 1 (GACI1) and autosomal recessive hypophosphatemic rickets type 2 (ARHR2). Despite phenotypic differences, patients with GACI1 and ARHR2 have a marked, lifelong physical and emotional burden, with a negative impact on quality of life.
methodsA scientific board, comprising seven specialist physicians (endocrinologists, nephrologists, and pediatricians) practicing in Italy, held two virtual meetings to exchange knowledge regarding real-world clinical experience of GACI1 and ARHR2 using case examples, and to discuss strategies on how to increase disease awareness and optimize the diagnosis and management of these patients.
resultsFive real-world clinical cases are described. The specialist physicians also provide guidance for optimizing the management pathway for patients with ENPP1 deficiency. Early identification of the clinical signs of disease, in combination with comprehensive diagnostic and follow-up testing, is essential for effective patient management.
conclusionEarly and accurate identification of ENPP1 deficiency by healthcare providers and comprehensive diagnostic testing is essential for the effective management of patients with GACI1 and ARHR2. Consistent follow-up is key to preventing complications and adverse outcomes. Although treatment options are limited, novel therapies are currently under clinical development.
