Diagnosis and management of Becker muscular dystrophy: the French guidelines.
Review in Journal of neurology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD) is one of the most frequent among neuromuscular diseases, affecting approximately 1 in 18,000 male births. It is linked to a genetic mutation on the X chromosome. In contrast to Duchenne muscular dystrophy, for which improved care and management have changed the prognosis and life expectancy of patients, few guidelines have been published for management of BMD. Many clinicians are inexperienced in managing the complications of this disease. In France, a committee of experts from a wide range of disciplines met in 2019 to establish recommendations, with the goal of improving care of patients with BMD. Here, we present the tools to provide diagnosis of BMD as quickly as possible and for differential diagnoses. Then, we describe the multidisciplinary approach essential for optimum management of BMD. We give recommendations for the initial assessment and follow-up of the neurological, respiratory, cardiac, and orthopedic consequences of males who present with BMD. Finally, we describe the optimal therapeutic management of these complications. We also provide guidance on cardiac management for female carriers.
