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

The use of hybridization-based methods for Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) mutation analysis is increasingly common. We report a case of Becker muscular dystrophy in which discrepant results between a polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based single-condition amplification/internal primer (SCAIP) and a comparative genomic hybridization assay incompletely characterized the mutation (an inversion of exons 23 and 24). These results demonstrate the limits of sensitivity and specificity of both tests, and highlight the need for more detailed analysis when intronic deletions are detected by comparative genome hybridization methods.
