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

Neuromuscular disorders (NMDs) of Childhood onset are a genetically heterogeneous group of diseases affecting the anterior horn cell, the peripheral nerve, the neuromuscular junction, or the muscle. For many decades, treatment of NMDs has been exclusively symptomatic. But this has changed fundamentally in recent years due to the development of new drugs attempting either to ameliorate secondary pathophysiologic consequences or to modify the underlying genetic defect itself. While the effects on the course of disease are still modest in some NMDs (e.g., Duchenne muscular dystrophy), new therapies have substantially prolonged life expectancy and improved motor function in others (e.g., spinal muscular atrophy and infantile onset Pompe disease). This review summarizes recently approved medicaments and provides an outlook for new therapies that are on the horizon in this field.
