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

backgroundDuchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is an X-linked recessive inherited disorder caused by the absence of the Dystrophin protein. Cerebral cavernous malformations (CCMs) are the most common vascular abnormalities in the central nervous system caused by the absence of the products of the CCM genes. Most CCMs cases reported occurring in a sporadic form are often asymptomatic. CASE PRESENTATION: We report a rare case of a 7-year-old Chinese boy with a co-existing DMD and sporadic CCMs. We found classic clinical features of DMD and non-specific pathological changes in his brain. We made the definitive diagnosis based on the results of whole-exome sequencing (WES), a repeat from exon 3 to exon 9 of the DMD inherited from his mother, and a de novo heterozygote nonsense mutation C.418G > T of the PDCD10 exon 6.

conclusionWe should take care to avoid missed diagnoses in patients with multiple genetic disorders.
