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

backgroundTo assess compound muscle action potential (CMAP) amplitudes as electrophysiologic markers in relation to clinical outcome in adult patients with 5q-linked spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) before and during treatment with risdiplam.

methodsIn this monocentric longitudinal cohort study, CMAP of 18 adult patients with SMA type 2 or 3 were assessed at baseline (T

resultsDuring a pharmacotherapy-naive pre-treatment period of 328 ± 46 days, Revised Upper Limb Module (RULM) score and peroneal nerve CMAP amplitudes decreased, while CMAP of tibial and upper limb nerves remained unchanged. CMAP amplitudes positively correlated with clinical scores (Hammersmith Functional Motor Scale-Expanded [HFMSE], RULM) at T

conclusionsMedian nerve CMAP amplitudes increase with risdiplam treatment in adult SMA patients, and should be further evaluated as potential easy-to-use electrophysiologic markers in assessing and monitoring clinical response to therapy.
