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

Recently it has been postulated that there is an atypical facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) phenotype with isolated axial myopathy. Involvement of paraspinal and limb muscles was evaluated in six patients with molecularly proven FSHD and a predominant bent spine phenotype. Consistent with the camptocormia phenotype, the most severely affected muscles in all six patients were the thoracic and lumbar spinal tract together with hamstrings. MRI disclosed severe axial muscle degeneration but mostly subclinical involvement of limb muscles. The involvement of hip extensor muscles in FSHD might considerably contribute to the clinical phenotype of camptocormia due to axial muscle involvement.
