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

purpose of reviewEmery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy (EDMD) is caused by mutations in EMD encoding emerin and LMNA encoding A-type lamins, proteins of the nuclear envelope. In the past decade, there has been an extraordinary burst of research on the nuclear envelope. Discoveries resulting from this basic research have implications for better understanding the pathogenesis and developing treatments for EDMD. RECENT

findingsRecent clinical research has confirmed that EDMD is one of several overlapping skeletal muscle phenotypes that can result from mutations in EMD and LMNA with dilated cardiomyopathy as a common feature. Basic research on the nuclear envelope has provided new insights into how A-type lamins and emerin function in force transmission throughout the cell, which may be particularly important in striated muscle. Much of the recent research has focused on the heart and LMNA mutations. Prevalence and outcome studies have confirmed the relative severity of cardiac disease. Robust mouse models of EDMD caused by LMNA mutations has allowed for further insight into pathogenic mechanisms and potentially beneficial therapeutic approaches. SUMMARY: Recent clinical and basic research on EDMD is gradually being translated to clinical practice and possibly novel therapies.
