Development and Validation of an Outpatient Clinical Predictive Score for the Diagnosis of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy/Becker Muscular Dystrophy in Children Aged 2-18 Years.
Article in Annals of Indian Academy of Neurology. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06574919 (Clinical and Functional Assessment of Patients With Inherited Non-Duchenne Myopathies in Sohag University Hospital), which is not on this 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.

Abstract
Introduction: There is no bedside clinical examination-based prediction score for Duchenne muscular dystrophy/Becker muscular dystrophy (DMD/BMD) in children with neuromuscular diseases (NMDs) presenting with proximal limb-girdle weakness. Methods: We compared the details of 200 cases of lower motor neuron type of weakness and had some proximal limb-girdle muscle weakness and divided them into 2 groups: with/without a confirmed diagnosis of DMD/BMD. We determined the predictive factors associated with a diagnosis of DMD/BMD using multivariate binary logistic regression. We assessed our proposed prognostic model using both discrimination and calibration and subsequently used the bootstrap method to successfully validate the model internally. Results: A total of 121 patients had DMD/BMD and the rest of the patients had other diagnoses. Male gender, presence of Gower's sign, valley sign, toe walking, calf pseudohypertrophy, and tongue hypertrophy were independent predictors for a confirmed diagnosis of DMD/BMD and included in the final CVT Conclusion: The CVT
