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

backgroundLysosomal storage diseases (LSDs) are rare genetic disorders treated with enzyme replacement therapy (ERT). However, treatment outcomes are highly variable, reflecting the complexities of therapeutic enzyme pharmacology, patient heterogeneity and therapy response. Population pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (popPK/PD) modeling can help characterize this variability, identify covariates, and optimize dosing strategies.

objectivesThis review aimed to provide a comprehensive overview of published popPK and popPD models of therapeutic enzymes in LSDs, summarize modeling strategies and study characteristics, and evaluate the quality of the available models.

methodsA systematic search of Medline, Embase, and Web of Science (inception-March 2025) identified studies reporting popPK and/or popPD models of therapeutic enzymes in patients with LSDs. Data on study characteristics, structural and statistical model choices, covariate analyses, and evaluation methods were extracted and compared.

resultsThis review included studies describing 6 popPK models and 3 popPD models of therapeutic enzymes in LSD. All models were developed using the nonlinear mixed-effects (NLME) modeling approach. The PK characteristics were adequately described using a two-compartment model in three studies, a three-compartment model in two studies, and a one-compartment model in one study. Three studies additionally assessed PK parameters in monocytes, leukocytes, and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). Among all tested covariates, total body weight (TBW) was identified as a significant predictor for clearance (CL) and volume of distribution in the central compartment (V

conclusionsPopPK modeling of therapeutic enzymes in LSDs is relatively well established. However, progress in popPD modeling remains limited. Existing models support the use of indirect response and maximum effect (E
