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

background5q spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a disabling and life-limiting neuromuscular disease. In recent years, novel therapies have shown to improve clinical outcomes. Yet, the absence of reliable biomarkers renders clinical assessment and prognosis of possibly already affected newborns with a positive newborn screening result for SMA imprecise and difficult. Therapeutic decisions and stratification of individualized therapies remain challenging, especially in symptomatic children. The aim of this proof-of-concept and feasibility study was to explore the value of

resultsUrine samples were collected from 29 treatment-naïve SMA patients (5 pre-symptomatic, 9 SMA 1, 8 SMA 2, 7 SMA 3), 18 patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) and 444 healthy controls. Using machine-learning algorithms, we propose a set of prediction models built on urinary fingerprints that showed potential diagnostic value in discriminating SMA patients from controls and DMD, as well as predictive properties in separating between SMA types, allowing predictions about phenotypic severity. Interestingly, preliminary results of the prediction models suggest additional value in determining biochemical onset of disease in pre-symptomatic infants with SMA identified by genetic newborn screening and furthermore as potential therapeutic monitoring tool.
