Article in Rare diseases (Austin, Tex.), 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT03319030 (Evaluating the Impact of Aerobic Exercise in Boys With Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy), which is not on this map. Cited by 11 papers.

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.

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.

Abstract

Recent studies have revealed the contribution of fibro-adipogenic progenitors (FAPs) to the pathogenesis and progression of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD). While FAPs direct compensatory regeneration at early stages of disease, as the disease progresses they contribute to the progressive replacement of contractile myofibers with fibrotic scars and fatty infiltration. Using the mouse model of DMD - the mdx mice - we have recently reported that FAPs mediate the ability of HDAC inhibitors (HDACi) to promote muscle regeneration and prevent fibro-adipogenic degeneration at early stages of disease. This effect is mediated by the induction of myomiRs that, in turn, target the SWI/SNF components BAF60A and B, thereby favoring the formation of BAF60C-based SWI/SNF complex, which directs the switch from the fibro-adipogenic to the myogenic lineage. Here we show direct evidence of induction of miR-206 and BAF60C, and reduction of BAF60A, in FAPs isolated from mdx muscles exposed to the HDACi Trichostatin A (TSA). We also discuss how increased expression of myomiRs in dystrophic muscles can be integrated with circulating myomiRs to provide accurate biomarkers of disease progression and response to treatment.
