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

Limb-girdle muscular dystrophies (LGMD) are a highly heterogeneous group of genetic myopathies characterized by progressive proximal pelvic and/or shoulder girdle muscle weakness, with the onset ages ranging from early childhood to late adulthood. The identification of these dystrophies through genetic testing will not only inform long-term prognosis but will also assist in directing care more efficiently, including more frequent cardiorespiratory monitoring and prophylactic treatments. The aim of this study was to identify the responsible gene in a five-generation Chinese Han pedigree with autosomal recessive LGMD. Exome sequencing was conducted and a novel mutation c.107788T>C (p.W35930R) in the titin gene (TTN) was identified. The mutation co-segregated with the disorder in the family and was absent in normal controls. Our discovery broadens the mutation spectrum of the TTN gene associated with LGMD2J.
