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

In humans, more than 140 different mutations within seven genes (ACTA1, TPM2, TPM3, TNNI2, TNNT1, TNNT3, and NEB) that encode thin filament proteins (skeletal alpha-actin, beta-tropomyosin, gamma-tropomyosin, fast skeletal muscle troponin I, slow skeletal muscle troponin T, fast skeletal muscle troponin T, and nebulin, respectively) have been identified. These mutations have been linked to muscle weakness and various congenital skeletal myopathies including nemaline myopathy, distal arthrogryposis, cap disease, actin myopathy, congenital fiber type disproportion, rod-core myopathy, intranuclear rod myopathy, and distal myopathy, with a dramatic negative impact on the quality of life. In this review, we discuss studies that use various approaches such as patient biopsy specimen samples, tissue culture systems or transgenic animal models, and that demonstrate how thin filament proteins mutations alter muscle structure and contractile function. With an enhanced understanding of the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying muscle weakness in patients carrying such mutations, better therapy strategies can be developed to improve the quality of life.
