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

objectiveAs myotonic dystrophy type 1(DM1) evolves slowly and interventional trials often have a short duration, responsive outcomes in DM1 are needed. The objective of this study was to determine the responsiveness of muscle strength, balance, and functional mobility measurements after a 1-year follow-up period in individuals with DM1.

methodsSixty-three adults with noncongenital DM1 completed the following assessments at baseline and at 1-year follow-up: Handheld dynamometry (lower limbs), stationary dynamometry (lower limbs), step test, timed-up-and-go test (TUG), modified clinical test of sensory integration and balance (mCTSIB), feet-together stance, tandem stance, one-leg stance, 10-meter walk test, and sit-to-stand test.

resultsChange was captured by stationary dynamometry (proximal flexor and extensor muscles), handheld dynamometry (proximal flexor and distal extensor muscles), TUG, and mCTSIB (P ≤ 0.04). Ceiling or floor effects were shown for most static balance tests.

interpretationOverall, adequate responsiveness was shown for both muscle strength dynamometers, TUG and mCTSIB. These outcomes are therefore likely candidate endpoints for clinical trials lasting 1 year. Most static balance tests are not responsive and not recommended in a heterogeneous DM1 population.
