Longitudinal efficacy of risdiplam treatment in Chinese children with spinal muscular atrophy.
Article in Orphanet journal of rare diseases, 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
backgroundAs the latest drug available for the treatment of spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), real-world research data on risdiplam are still lacking. The purpose of this study was to supplement the real-world data in SMA children receiving risdiplam by studying children in multiple centers throughout China.
resultsIn total, 34 children with SMA were collected from September 2021 to November 2024 and followed for a period of 8.3 ± 4.6 months. The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia infant test of neuromuscular disorders (CHOPINTEND) scores of 18 children at the last visit improved when compared with baseline [20 (3-60) vs. 39 (8-61), p < 0.001]. Thirteen patients (76.5%) demonstrated a noticeable improvement in Hammersmith functional motor scale expanded (HFMSE) score at the last follow-up compared with baseline [22 (6-52) vs. 31 (8-59), p = 0.003]. Revised upper limb module (RULM) scores of 7 patients at the last follow-up were improved compared with those at baseline [21 (6-32) vs. 24 (9-35), p = 0.018]. Improvements in motor function were monthly quantified by generalized estimating equation analysis. The CHOPINTEND score increased by 1.8 points/month (95%CI 0.8 to 2.9, p = 0.001) in children with short disease duration before treatment, 2.7 points/month (95%CI 2.4 to 3.0, p < 0.001) in children with type 1 and 2.7 points/month (95%CI 2.1 to 3.3, p < 0.001) in patients with 2 copies of survival motor neuron 2 gene. Pneumonia was the most frequently reported adverse event, whereas laboratory tests yielded no unusual findings.
conclusionMotor ability of children with SMA were improved under risdiplam with a good safety profile. The degree of motor function improvement was related to the course of disease before treatment.
