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 is a severe muscle wasting disease caused by mutations in the dystrophin gene (dmd). Ataluren has been approved by the European Medicines Agency for treatment of Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Ataluren has been reported to promote ribosomal read-through of premature stop codons, leading to restoration of full-length dystrophin protein. However, the mechanism of Ataluren action has not been fully described. To evaluate the efficacy of Ataluren on all three premature stop codons featuring different termination strengths (UAA > UAG > UGA), novel dystrophin-deficient zebrafish were generated. Pathological assessment of the muscle by birefringence quantification, a tool to directly measure muscle integrity, did not reveal a significant effect of Ataluren on any of the analysed dystrophin-deficient mutants at 3 days after fertilization. Functional analysis of the musculature at 6 days after fertilization by direct measurement of the generated force revealed a significant improvement by Ataluren only for the UAA-carrying mutant dmd
