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

Purpose: Fabry disease (FD), an X-linked lysosomal storage disorder caused by the deficiency of α-galactosidase A, results in the accumulation of globotriaosylceramide and its deacylated derivative globotriaosylsphingosine (lyso-Gb3). Little is known about lyso-Gb3 levels in pediatric population identified through neonatal screening. This study evaluated levels of lyso-Gb3 at birth and during childhood. Methods: Plasma lyso-Gb3 levels were monitored annually in 25 males with FD identified by newborn screening. Long-term clinical follow-up was extended up to a maximum of 9 years of age. Results: A total of 105 plasma samples were collected. For 14 patients with later-onset (LO) variants, 53 lyso-Gb3 values were collected, 50 of which were elevated (mean 2.87 nmol/L, SD 3.46, nv <0.43 nmol/L). We analyzed 52 samples from 11 patients with variants of uncertain significance (VUS), 29 of which were mildly elevated (0.43-1 nmol/L), with overlapping values at birth. Increased lyso-Gb3 levels for LO variants were most pronounced during the first 2 years, after which the values plateaued. Conversely, lyso-Gb3 in VUS increased minimally and then stabilized. Conclusion: Lyso-Gb3 levels were elevated earlier than clinical symptoms in infants with LO FD, increased significantly in the first 2 years of life, and remained stable during follow-up. Differences in Lyso-Gb3 levels between LO variants and VUS were significant (
