Clinical, pathological and genetic characteristics of a pedigree with myotonic dystrophy type 1.

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.
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 aim of the present study was to investigate the clinical, pathological and molecular genetic characteristics of a pedigree with myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1). A series of clinical data from a pedigree with DM1 were collected. Muscle biopsy revealed a typical nuclear ingression within numerous muscle fibers following hematoxylin and eosin staining. Genomic DNA was extracted from the venous blood of two patients and the triplet-primed polymerase chain reaction method was performed to amplify the dystrophia myotonic protein kinase (DMPK) gene. The amplified products were subjected to gene sequencing by capillary fluorescence electrophoresis, and a pathogenic mutation in the DMPK gene comprising >50 cytosine-thymine-guanine repeat sequences was found. DM1 includes multi-system damage, as well as skeletal muscle involvement, and can affect the central nervous system, endocrine glands, skin and heart. A skeletal muscle biopsy and genetic testing can confirm the diagnosis and clarify the severity of the disease. In addition, it is necessary to distinguish DM1 from DM2.
