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

Background and aim Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD) is an X-linked disease caused by an in-frame mutation in the dystrophin gene, which is considered an allelic disorder to the most severe form of dystrophinopahies, Duchenne muscular dystrophy, which leads to skeletal and cardiac muscle involvement and results in dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). The aim of this study is to present our ECG data and the significance of this data in the early detection of DCM in these patients. Methods This is a retrospective study. All patients known to the clinical Genetic Clinic and Queen Alia Heart Center in Jordan with a diagnosis of Becker muscular dystrophy from the year 2011-2022 are offered cardiac evaluation according to the guidelines, which included clinical assessment, electrocardiograph, and 2-D echocardiograph (echo)
