Societal Costs, Healthcare Utilisation and Labour Market Affiliation of Persons With Adult-Onset Myotonic Dystrophy Type 1 (DM1)-A Register-Based Study II.
Article in European journal of neurology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundAdult-onset myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) is characterised by diagnostic delay due to milder symptomatology than the congenital and juvenile forms. The multiorgan symptoms in the multiorgan nature of DM1 have negative biopsychosocial consequences. The aim was to apply national health registers to provide updated knowledge on the use and costs of healthcare services and labour market affiliation of persons with adult-onset DM1 in Denmark.
methodsAnalyses were based on a population of 949 adult persons with DM1 and 9427 controls. Median age at diagnosis was 43 years. Each person with DM1 was matched with ten reference individuals from the general Danish population without DM1. Data were retrieved from several databases: Statistics Denmark, the Danish National Patient Register, Danish National Health Service Register, the Danish National Prescription Registry and the Income register and the DREAM database.
resultsDuring the 20-year following diagnosis, persons with DM1 had 2.5 times more inpatient contacts, 2 times more outpatient contacts and 29.1 times more hours of home care than their controls. Persons with DM1 had a lower educational level, a higher risk of early disability pension (HR: 11.6, CI: 9.92-13.6), 68.2 weeks more unemployment and 29.2 weeks more long-term sick leave and EUR 11,700-23,500 a lower income per year of the study. For all results, the difference between persons with DM1 and their controls was more expressed in males.
conclusionsThe course of disease in adult-onset DM1-normally considered to be mild-has a significant impact on health and living conditions.
