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

Dystrophinopathies are the most common muscle diseases, especially in men. In women, on the other hand, a manifestation of Duchenne muscular dystrophy is rare due to X-chromosomal inheritance. We present two young girls with severe muscle weakness, muscular dystrophies, and creatine kinase (CK) levels exceeding 10,000 U/L. In the skeletal muscle tissues, dystrophin staining reaction showed mosaicism. The almost entirely skewed X-inactivation in both cases supported the possibility of a dystrophinopathy. Despite standard molecular diagnostics (including multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA) and next generation sequencing (NGS) gene panel sequencing), the genetic cause of the girls' conditions remained unknown. However, whole-genome sequencing revealed two reciprocal translocations between their X chromosomes and chromosome 5 and chromosome 19, respectively. In both cases, the breakpoints on the X chromosomes were located directly within the
