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

Lysosomal storage diseases (LSDs) are a group of rare inherited metabolic disorders characterized by lysosomal dysfunction and progressive accumulation of undegraded substrates, leading to multisystem involvement and, in many cases, severe neurodegeneration. Because the blood-brain barrier (BBB) restricts central nervous system (CNS) access for most therapeutic modalities, neurological manifestations remain the major unmet need across LSDs. In this review, we summarize current and emerging strategies aimed at correcting CNS pathology, including enzyme replacement therapy (ERT), adeno-associated virus (AAV)-mediated gene therapy, allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), and autologous HSCT with gene-modified hematopoietic stem cells. While ERT provides limited CNS benefits and allogeneic HSCT mitigates neurodegeneration only partially, their overall impact on CNS outcomes remains restricted. Newer approaches, such as BBB-shuttling ERTs, CNS-tropic AAV capsids, and genetically modified autologous hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells capable of sustained supraphysiological enzyme production, offer promising avenues for enhanced CNS delivery and cross-correction. Together, these advances underscore a shift toward integrated therapeutic strategies that combine systemic and CNS-directed interventions, with the potential to transform outcomes for patients with LSDs and other neurodegenerative disorders amenable to cross-correction.
