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

backgroundThere is currently no reliable epidemiological data in the Russian Federation nor data on patient routing and evaluation of the efficacy and feasibility of diagnostic and therapeutic approaches to patients with suspected Duchenne/Becker muscular dystrophy (DMD/BMD).

objectiveTo record and monitor all patients with DMD/BMD in Russia.

methodsObservational multicenter prospective & retrospective Registry of patients with DMD/BMD.

resultsAlmost half of the 626 included patients live in the Central and Volga Federal Districts. The most common cause of the disease was large deletions of one or more exons (328 patients, 52.4%). Large duplications were identified in 92 patients (14.7%). Point mutations were identified in 206 patients, 32.9%. Among 448 patients with a known family history, 20% had a first-line relative diagnosed with DMD/BMD. The mean delay in diagnosis (the time from onset to clinically confirmed diagnosis) was 24.3 months.

conclusionsThese data demonstrate the preliminary results of the Registry and indicate a considerable delay in diagnosis in Russia.
