Duchenne muscular dystrophy involves the myocardium and causes arrhythmia: Case report.
Article in Frontiers in cardiovascular medicine, 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
Background: Patients with muscular dystrophy have mutations in the gene that can lead to severe muscle wasting, respiratory issues or heart failure between ages 30 and 40. Currently, there is no effective treatment for DMD-induced heart failure. Case presentation: We report a patient with recurrent unexplained fever and muscle soreness was definitely diagnosed with DMD. An analysis of the patient's genetics revealed a nonsense mutation (C.1207G > T). His DMD was treated with hormones. Also, the patient's fever is under control because of hormone therapy. However, as the disease progresses, the heart structure and function gradually change, and eventually malignant arrhythmias occur. Conclusion: We report a rare case of DMD involving the heart causing heart failure and malignant arrhythmia. Currently, no complete treatment is available for these patients, but our treatment regimen may benefit our patient and improve his outcomes.
