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

Mucopolysaccharidoses (MPS) are severe, inherited metabolic diseases, classified among lysosomal storage diseases (LSDs). The presence of pathological variants of genes coding for enzymes involved in the degradation of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) is a primary cause of each MPS type, and accumulation of these compounds is a characteristic feature of MPS. Depending on the kind of defective enzyme and the type of stored GAG(s), 12 classical types are distinguished, and a few other related diseases, whose classification is unclear. Although there is no fully effective cure for MPS, several kinds of therapeutic approaches have been proposed to treat these diseases, and some of them have been introduced into clinical practice. In this review article, we present and discuss very recent advances in developing various therapies for MPS, also indicating problems and limitations. This paper focuses on enzyme replacement therapy (ERT), cell- and gene-based therapies (including hematopoietic stem cell transplantation and gene therapy), inhibition of GAG synthesis, and some other newly developed therapeutic approaches. Perspectives on MPS therapies are also discussed.
