Case Report: Home initiation of nocturnal non-invasive ventilation in two adolescents with Duchenne muscular dystrophy and comorbid autism spectrum disorder and ADHD.

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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
This case report describes initiation of Nocturnal Non-Invasive Ventilation in home settings for two adolescents with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy and different neuropsychiatric and neurocognitive comorbidities: one has Autism Spectrum Disorder, and the other has Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, obsessive thinking and anxiety. This report emphasizes the need for a multidisciplinary team approach, incorporating medical, psychological and psychopharmacological interventions for successful Non-Invasive Ventilation implementation. Challenges include recognition of neuropsychiatric and neurocognitive comorbidities often seen in Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. Lessons learned from these cases underscore the importance of: coordinated multidisciplinary efforts, early advanced care planning, accurate psychoeducation, cautious psychopharmacological interventions, and parental and patient involvement. To our knowledge, this is the first case report describing implementing Nocturnal Non-Invasive Ventilation in home settings in adolescents with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy and neuropsychiatric and neurocognitive comorbidities. In conclusion, implementation at home can be successful and become a realistic target for each individual with Duchenne Muscular dystrophy.
