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

Boys with Duchenne muscular dystrophy develop scoliosis in 95% of cases. Conservative management to avoid progression of the deformity is not successful. However, treatment with corticosteroids may avoid the onset of scoliosis in some patients. Early surgical treatment and spine fusion is usually recommended before severe cardiopulmonary symptoms have developed. With modern surgical techniques, the sitting ability and quality of life can be preserved with a moderate complication rate. An interdisciplinary approach is mandatory to achieve these goals.
