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

5q-spinal muscular atrophy (5q-SMA) is an autosomal recessive neuromuscular disorder caused by a biallelic mutation of the survival of motor neuron 1 SMN1 gene. The resulting lack of SMN protein causes a progressive degeneration of anterior motor neurons and muscular atrophy, which leads to a progressive scoliosis in two-thirds of affected cases. Depending on the disease subtype and severity, affected patients can subsequently develop respiratory insufficiency, leading to a fatal outcome. Ground-breaking research on this devastating disorder has led to the approval of novel therapies that may alter the clinical course of this disease in the future. Here we present a summary of these new therapies, current operative strategies for 5q-SMA associated scoliosis and provide an outlook for possible implications for the future.
