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

introductionTitinopathies are heterogenous group of disorders affecting the skeletal and cardiac muscles variably and caused by Titin (

methodsA retrospective descriptive study of 12 patients diagnosed with primary muscle disease evaluated between 2016 and 2023 harboring rare

resultsEight patients were included (M:F ratio - 3:1). The median age at onset of entire cohort is 5 (range: birth- 33 years). The major clinical phenotypes were congenital myopathy [n = 3, 37.5%], juvenile onset myopathy [n = 3, 37.5%] and adult AD - Hereditary myopathy with early respiratory failure (HMERF) phenotype [n = 2, P6, P8; 25%]. Prominent / wide first interdigital space in feet in congenital and juvenile forms (c.38421_38437delinsC, c.106531 + 1G > A) was a novel feature. The variant c.95134T > C previously reported in HMERF in British population, was noted in two patients in our cohort and with GNE myopathy like phenotype in one. Muscle MRI done in congenital myopathy (c.26201-1G > A) showed fatty infiltration of anterior and posterior thigh with sparing of gracilis, adductor magnus and tibialis anterior.

conclusionThis is the first Indian study with a large cohort demonstrating many novel mutations and clinical heterogeneity expanding the spectrum of titinopathies.
