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

Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) is an X-linked recessive disorder caused by a deficient or defective synthesis of dystrophin protein. DMD is the most common form of muscular dystrophy with an incidence of about 1 in 5000 live boys. Though primarily resulting in progressive muscle weakness, it affects various other organs as well. Heart, brain and smooth muscles are commonly involved, because of expression of dystrophin in these organs. The management of DMD requires a multidisciplinary liaison, anticipatory management and prevention of the complications. Consensus based international recommendation for management of DMD have been published in the year 2010, recognizing DMD as a multi-systemic and progressive disease. The proper management of a boy with DMD can improve ambulation, independence, quality of life and delay disease - related complications. A lot can be done to comfort affected children and their care givers even in a resource limited setting. This review discusses these options and also the current understanding of the disease.
