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

Gaucher disease is the most frequent lysosomal storage disease in Greece, accounting for 24% of all lysosomal disorders diagnosed during the last 13 years at the Institute of Child Health in Athens. The nature of the defects in glucocerebrosidase in Greek Gaucher patients with non-neuronopathic (type 1) and neuronopathic (types 2 and 3) phenotypes was investigated at the level of the glucocerebrosidase gene and enzyme activity. Mutation analysis performed in 10/23 Gaucher patients with different types of the disorder led to the identification of four mutations, N370S, L444P, R463C and D409H, comprising 75% of the investigated alleles. N370S was only found in association with type 1 disease. The genotype D409H/R463C was identified for the first time and was associated with the severe type 2 disorder. There was no correlation between residual in vitro enzyme activity and either phenotype or genotype. However, in cultured fibroblast of the neuronopathic cases, glucocerebrosidase protein concentration was reduced and the capacity to degrade exogenous C6NBD-glucosylceramide was more severely impaired.
