Electrical impedance myography in individuals with collagen 6 and laminin α-2 congenital muscular dystrophy: a cross-sectional and 2-year analysis.
Article in Muscle & nerve, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to 2 registered trials, which are not on this map. Cited by 13 papers.
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
introductionElectrical impedance myography (EIM) is a noninvasive electrophysiological technique that characterizes muscle properties through bioimpedance. We compared EIM measurements to function, strength, and disease severity in a population with congenital muscular dystrophy (CMD).
methodsForty-one patients with CMD, either collagen 6 related disorders (COL6-RD; n = 21) or laminin α-2-related disorders (LAMA2-RD; n = 20), and 21 healthy pediatric controls underwent 2 yearly EIM exams. In the CMD cohorts, EIM was compared with functional and strength measurements.
resultsBoth CMD cohorts exhibited change over time and had correlation with disease severity. The 50-kHZ phase correlated well with function and strength in the COL6-RD cohort but not in the LAMA2-RD cohort. DISCUSSION: EIM is a potentially useful measure in clinical studies with CMD because of its sensitivity to change over a 1-year period and correlation with disease severity. For COL6-RD, there were also functional and strength correlations. Muscle Nerve 57: 54-60, 2018.
