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

Fabry disease is a rare X-linked lysosomal storage disorder characterized by progressive glycosphingolipid accumulation and multisystem organ involvement. Globotriaosylsphingosine (Lyso-Gb3) has emerged as a promising biomarker of disease burden; however, its relationship with validated clinical severity scoring systems remains incompletely understood. This study aimed to evaluate the associations between serum Lyso-Gb3 concentrations and the overall scores of three validated clinical severity assessment tools-the Mainz Severity Score Index (MSSI), Disease Severity Scoring System (DS3), and Fabry Stabilization Index (FASTEX)-in patients with Fabry disease. This retrospective observational study included 18 adult patients with genetically and/or enzymatically confirmed Fabry disease who were regularly followed at a tertiary referral center. Baseline and 12-month serum Lyso-Gb3 concentrations, MSSI scores, DS3 scores, and FASTEX values were evaluated. Correlations between Lyso-Gb3 concentrations and disease severity scores were assessed using Spearman correlation analysis. Exploratory sex-stratified analyses and univariable linear regression analyses were additionally performed to examine associations with disease severity; these analyses were considered hypothesis-generating because of the limited sample size. Median baseline Lyso-Gb3 concentration was 6.77 ng/mL (IQR: 3.94-50.10), median baseline MSSI score was 27.0 (IQR: 16.3-34.3), and median baseline DS3 score was 19.0 (IQR: 15.3-22.0). Significant reductions were observed in Lyso-Gb3 concentrations, MSSI scores, and DS3 scores after 12 months of follow-up (all
