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

purpose of reviewThe purpose of this review is to summarize the current and emerging therapies for Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). RECENT

findingsCoinciding with new standardized care guidelines, there are a growing number of therapeutic options to treat males with DMD. Treatment of the underlying pathobiology, such as micro-dystrophin gene replacement, exon skipping, stop codon read-through agents, and utrophin modulators showed variable success in animal and human studies. Symptomatic therapies to target muscle ischemia, enhance muscle regeneration, prevent muscle fibrosis, inhibit myostatin, and reduce inflammation are also under investigation. DMD is a complex, heterogeneous degenerative disease. The pharmacological and technological achievements made in recent years, plus timely supportive interventions will likely lead to an improved quality of life for many individuals with DMD.
