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.

Abstract

Background: Velaglucerase alfa is approved in China for treating type 1 Gaucher disease (GD1), but data on its use in Chinese pediatric and adult patients are limited. This study evaluated the safety, efficacy, and pharmacokinetics of velaglucerase alfa in Chinese patients with GD1. Methods: This was a phase IIIb, multicenter, open-label, single-arm, 53-week study (NCT05529992). Patients received intravenous velaglucerase alfa (60 U/kg) every 2 weeks. The primary endpoint was the incidence of serious treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs). Secondary endpoints evaluated safety (incidence of TEAEs), efficacy (changes in hemoglobin concentrations, platelet counts, liver and spleen volumes [as percent of body weight, % BW]), and quality of life (QoL). Results: Twenty patients were enrolled (treatment-naïve, Conclusions: Velaglucerase alfa was well-tolerated in Chinese patients with GD1, with no new safety signals, and resulted in improved hemoglobin and platelet levels, as well as liver and spleen volumes.
