Correlations of disease severity outcome measures in inclusion body myositis.
Article in Neuromuscular disorders : NMD, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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
This study aimed to evaluate the correlation between various outcome measures used to assess disease severity and progression in inclusion body myositis (IBM) clinical trials. A cross-sectional study, involving 51 IBM patients meeting the European Neuromuscular Center (ENMC) 2011 criteria for clinically defined or probable IBM, was completed at the University of California, Irvine. Clinical details, demographic data, and functional data including timed get up (TGU), manual muscle testing, hand grip, pinch dynamometry, as well as IBM functional rating scale (IBMFRS), modified Rankin score, forced vital capacity (FVC), and modified ocular bulbar facial respiratory scale (mOBFRS) were collected on all patients. Descriptive statistics and Pearson's r correlation were performed to analyze the data. Age of the patient did not correlate with any of the outcome measures. Greater severity of IBMFRS scores correlated with longer disease duration as well as greater severity for FVC, strength outcomes, TGU, modified Rankin, and mOBFRS. Additionally, TGU strongly correlated with muscle strength measurements, modified Rankin, and mOBFRS. mOBFRS moderately correlated with IBMFRS, muscle strength, FVC, TGU and modified Rankin score. We demonstrate moderate to strong correlations among the disease severity outcome measures in this study.
