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

Nonvertebral fractures (NVFs) in patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) are often associated with an unfavorable prognosis. However, the influencing factors and early warning indicators for NVFs remain unclear. To address this knowledge gap, a retrospective cohort study was conducted across 2 centers involving 295 DMD patients who were evaluated between August 2013 and February 2022. Data collection included telephone callback records and outpatient face-to-face assessments. Among the 295 patients, 30 (10.2%) had experienced at least 1 NVF. The overall NVF incidence rate was 91.8 (95% CI, 62.4-130.3) per 10 000 person-years, representing a rate more than 5 times higher than that of traumatic NVFs in boys aged 0-14 yr. This finding underscores the significant burden of NVFs in DMD patients. Subsequent analysis investigated the association between the occurrence of the first NVF and various factors, including ambulant status, glucocorticoid (GC) regimen, and dystrophin isoform expression. Multivariate analysis revealed that ambulation was a significant risk factor for the first NVF, with an increased risk of 29.2-fold (95% CI, 3.9-217.3,
