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

Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is an X-linked genetic disease primarily affecting boys causing loss of the dystrophin protein, ultimately leading to muscle wastage and death by cardiac or respiratory failure. The genetic mutation involved can be overcome with antisense oligonucleotides which bind to a pre-mRNA and results in reading frame restoration by exon skipping. Phosphorodiamidate morpholino oligonucleotides (PMOs) are a class of antisense agents with a neutral backbone derived from RNA which can induce effective exon skipping. In this review, the evolution of PMOs in exon skipping therapy for the last two decades has been detailed with the gradual structural and functional advancements. Even though the success rate of PMObased therapy has been high with four FDA approved drugs, several key challenges are yet to overcome, one being the dystrophin restoration in cardiac muscle. The current scenario in further improvement of PMOs has been discussed along with the future perspectives that have the potential to revolutionize the therapeutic benefits in DMD.
