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

purpose of reviewThe relevance of proteins that accumulate and aggregate in the muscle fibers of patients with sporadic inclusion body myositis (sIBM) is unknown. Many of these proteins also aggregate in other disorders, including Alzheimer's disease, leading to speculation that sIBM pathogenesis has similarities to neurodegenerative disorders. Our review will discuss current studies on these protein biomarkers and their utility in sIBM diagnosis. RECENT

findingsTwo 'classical' components of sIBM aggregates (amyloid beta and phospho-tau) have been re-evaluated. Three additional components of aggregates (TDP-43, p62, and LC3) have been identified. The sensitivity and specificity of these biomarkers has been explored. Two studies suggest that TDP-43 may have clinical utility in distinguishing sIBM from other inflammatory myopathies. SUMMARY: The fact that sIBM muscle accumulates multiple protein aggregates with no single protein appearing in every sIBM patient biopsy suggests that it is not presently possible to place pathogenic blame on any single protein (i.e. amyloid beta or TDP-43). Instead changes in protein homeostasis may lead to the accumulation of different proteins that have a propensity to aggregate in skeletal muscle. Therapies aimed at improving protein homeostasis, instead of targeting a specific protein that may or may not accumulate in all sIBM patients, could be useful future strategies for this devastating and enigmatic disorder.
