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

Exonic deletions and duplications within DMD are the main pathogenic variants in Duchenne and Becker muscular dystrophies (DMD/BMD). However, few studies have profiled the flanking sequences of breakpoints and the potential mechanism underlying the breakpoints in different fragile regions of DMD. In this study, 896 Chinese male probands afflicted with DMD/BMD were selected from unrelated families and analyzed using multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification of the DMD gene, in which we identified exon deletions in 784 subjects and duplications in 112 subjects. Deletions occurred most frequently in the genomic region encompassing exons 45-55, accounting for 73% of all deletion patterns. Furthermore, to unravel the potential mechanism that induced breaks, DMD gene capture and sequencing were performed to identify the breakpoints in 37 subjects with deletions encompassing exons 45-55 of DMD; we found that DMD instability did not arise from a single cause; instead, long-sequence motifs, nonconsensus microhomologies, low-copy repeats, and microindels were embedded around the breakpoints, which may predispose DMD to instability. In summary, this study highlights the heterogeneous characteristics of the flanking sequences around the breakpoints and helps us to understand the mechanism underlying DMD gene instability.
