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

introductionThe frequency and distribution of dystrophin gene deletions vary in patients with Duchene/Becker muscular dystrophy (DMD/BMD).

objectiveIn this study, we aimed to analyze clinical, biochemical, and dystrophin gene deletion pattern, by using multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in the population of eastern Uttar Pradesh and the adjoining districts of Bihar and Madhya Pradesh. MATERIAL AND

methodAfter clinical assessment, 225 patients of DMD/BMD were analyzed for deletion in dystrophin gene. Clinical features and biochemical parameters were noted. For genetic study, all samples were tested for deletion from 25 exons of DMD gene by using multiplex PCR.

resultDeletions were detected in 169 (75.1%) patients of DMD/BMD. Deletions were observed in both proximal and mid-distal hot spot regions with maximum deletion localized in the mid-distal hot spot region of the gene. The most frequent deletions were observed in exon 50 (14.9%) and exon 49 (10.8%).

conclusionThis study concludes that mid-distal region of dystrophin is highly polymorphic in the population of eastern Uttar Pradesh and responsible for pathogenesis of DMD. The population of eastern Uttar Pradesh shows similar pattern of deletion in dystrophin gene when compared with other ethnic groups of the Indian population.
