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

introductionIn this study we examined gender differences in adult hospitalizations with myotonic dystrophy (DM).

methodsFrom the Nationwide Inpatient Sample (NIS) 2010-2014, we identified 1,891 adult hospitalizations with a DM diagnosis and constructed a comparison group of hospitalizations without DM using propensity score matching. We calculated relative risk by gender for 44 clinical diagnoses that each accounted for at least 5% of DM hospitalizations.

resultsHospitalizations with DM were longer (4.8 vs. 4.1 days, P < 0.0001) and more costly ($13,241 vs. $11,458, P < 0.0001) than those without DM. More than half (25 of 44) of the conditions co-occurring with DM hospitalizations did not differ in their relative risks by gender. For those that differed by gender, only 5 were specific to DM, compared with hospitalizations without DM. DISCUSSION: Our findings highlight the importance of comprehensive and coordinated care for DM rather than gender-oriented care in the inpatient setting. Muscle Nerve 59:348-353, 2019.
