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 a lethal muscle wasting disease caused by a lack of dystrophin, which eventually leads to apoptosis of muscle cells and impaired muscle contractility. Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats/CRISPR associated protein 9 (CRISPR/Cas9) gene editing of induced pluripotent stem cells (IPSC) offers the potential to correct the DMD gene defect and create healthy IPSC for autologous cell transplantation without causing immune activation. However, IPSC carry a risk of tumor formation, which can potentially be mitigated by differentiation of IPSC into myogenic progenitor cells (MPC). We hypothesize that precise genetic editing in IPSC using CRISPR-Cas9 technology, coupled with MPC differentiation and autologous transplantation, can lead to safe and effective muscle repair. With future research, our hypothesis may provide an optimal autologous stem cell-based approach to treat the dystrophic pathology and improve the quality of life for patients with DMD.
