Molecular-targeted therapy for Duchenne muscular dystrophy: progress and potential.
Review in Molecular diagnosis & therapy, 2008. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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 a lethal heritable childhood myodegenerative condition caused by a mutation within the gene encoding the dystrophin protein within the X chromosome. While, historically, patients with this condition rarely lived into their thirties, they are now living substantially longer as a result of new treatments based on multi-disciplinary care. Despite these advances, the prognosis for DMD patients is limited, and a progressive reduction in quality of life and early death in adulthood cannot be prevented using currently available treatment regimens. The best hopes for a cure lies with cellular and gene therapy approaches that target the underlying genetic defect. In the past several years, viral and nonviral gene therapy methodologies based on adeno-associated viruses, naked plasmid delivery, antisense oligonucleotides, and oligonucleotide-mediated gene editing have advanced to a high degree of sophistication, to the extent that research has moved from the laboratory setting to the clinic. Notwithstanding these accomplishments, shortcomings with each therapy remain, so more work is required to devise an appropriate therapeutic strategy for the management and eventual cure of this debilitating disease.
