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

Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) is the most common childhood muscular disorder. Mitochondrial dysfunctions are key disease features of the disease, and strategies that improve mitochondrial health have emerged as promising to slow disease progression. Emerging evidence indicates that impaired/insufficient mitophagy may contribute to the accumulation of mitochondrial dysfunction seen in patients and animal models of DMD. We therefore hypothesized that overexpressing Parkin, a key mitophagy regulator, may improve mitochondrial and muscle health in a mouse model of DMD. To this end, Parkin was overexpressed using intramuscular injections of adeno-associated viruses performed in 5-week-old and 18-week-old D2.B10-Dmd
