Histological Assessment of Gene Therapy in the Canine DMD Model.
Article in Methods in molecular biology (Clifton, N.J.), 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Assessing histological changes is essential for characterizing muscle disease progression and for studying the response to therapies in Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), an X-linked progressive muscle-wasting disease caused by the loss of the dystrophin protein. Canine models are by far the best-characterized large animal models for DMD. In this chapter, we describe methods for muscle tissue collection and storage, hematoxylin and eosin staining for studying general muscle morphology, and special staining protocols for evaluating fibrosis, calcification, and neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS) activity. We also provide immunofluorescence staining protocols that are often used to characterize the expression and localization of dystrophin and components of the dystrophin-associated glycoprotein complex. Lastly, we presented immunohistochemical staining protocols that we use to assess muscle inflammation and immune responses.
