Longitudinal Assessment of Creatine Kinase, Creatine/Creatinine
Article in Neurology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 papers.
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.
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
BACKGROUND AND
objectivesThe slow and variable disease progression of Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD) urges the development of biomarkers to facilitate clinical trials. We explored changes in 3 muscle-enriched biomarkers in serum of patients with BMD over 4-year time and studied associations with disease severity, disease progression, and dystrophin levels in BMD.
methodsWe quantitatively measured creatine kinase (CK) using the International Federation of Clinical Chemistry reference method, creatine/creatinine
resultsThirty-four patients with 106 visits were included. Eight patients were nonambulant at baseline. Cr/Crn and myostatin were highly patient specific (intraclass correlation coefficient for both = 0.960). Cr/Crn was strongly negatively correlated, whereas myostatin was strongly positively correlated with the NSAA, TMRv, and 6MWT (Cr/Crn rho = -0.869 to -0.801 and myostatin rho = 0.792 to 0.842, all DISCUSSION: Both Cr/Crn and myostatin could potentially serve as monitoring biomarkers in BMD, as higher Cr/Crn and lower myostatin were associated with lower motor performance and predictive of concurrent functional performance when combined with age. Future studies are needed to more precisely determine the context of use of these biomarkers.
