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

Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is an X-linked recessive disorder due to the lack of dystrophin production. The disease is characterized by muscle wasting, with the most common causes of death being respiratory failure or heart failure. Recently, exon skipping via phosphorodiamidate morpholino oligomers (PMOs) are used as an FDA approved treatment for DMD. Peptide-conjugated PMOs (PPMOs) are used to increase exon skipping efficacy in the heart and are a promising therapy for DMD. Researchers have previously relied on high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) or liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC/MS) methods for detecting PPMO uptake, but an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) has been shown to have greater sensitivity. Here, we present methodologies to determine the uptake efficiency of a PPMO into the heart and efficacy of exon 51 skipping by a PPMO injected retro-orbitally into a humanized DMD mouse model via ELISA and RT-PCR, respectively.
