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 (DMD) is one of the most common lethal muscle-wasting disorders affecting young boys caused by mutations in the DMD gene. Exon skipping has emerged as a promising therapy for DMD. Antisense oligonucleotides (AONs) are designed to induce the skipping of exon(s), in order to restore the reading frame, and therefore, allow for dystrophin expression. Eteplirsen and golodirsen, AONs for DMD exons 51 and 53 skipping, have been recently approved by the FDA. Viltolarsen, an AON for DMD exon 53 skipping, was approved in Japan earlier this year. Although promising, the efficacy of eteplirsen and AON sequence employed remain controversial. In addition, exon skipping faces challenges including the applicability and delivery. This article reviews and discusses exon skipping and the current advances being made in the field, on drugs, multi-exon skipping, sequence design, and applicability. We also discuss challenges and future directions that will facilitate the development of exon skipping therapy.
