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

Mucopolysaccharidosis type IIIA (MPS IIIA, Sanfilippo A syndrome) is a lysosomal storage disease that causes a profound neurological deterioration. The disorder is caused by a deficiency of the lysosomal enzyme sulphamidase which is a requisite for the degradation of heparan sulphate. To facilitate the development of enzyme-replacement strategies for MPS IIIA patients, we have constructed a high-level expression system for recombinant human sulphamidase in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells. An expression construct containing a methotrexate-resistant dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) gene allowed amplification of expression levels from less than 1 mg of sulphamidase per litre of culture medium to approx. 15 mg/l. Unlike many cell lines made by gene amplification in DHFR-deficient CHO cells, and utilizing the normal DHFR gene, these cell lines appeared to be stable in the absence of selective pressure. Recombinant human sulphamidase was purified from unamplified and amplified cell lines. The native enzyme was found to be a dimer of 115 kDa. Denaturing and reducing SDS/PAGE revealed a subunit size of 62 kDa. Kinetic analysis demonstrated that the recombinant enzyme had broadly similar kinetic characteristics to sulphamidase purified from liver. Recombinant human sulphamidase was able to correct the storage phenotype of MPS IIIA fibroblasts after endocytosis via the mannose-6-phosphate receptor.
