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

Spinal muscular atrophy is a hereditary disorder leading to severe neuromuscular impairment. With the introduction of disease-modifying therapies in recent years, the role of biomarkers has expanded from aiding diagnosis to monitoring treatment responses, prognostic assessment, and the development of individualized treatment strategies. This review systematically summarizes biomarkers in the field of spinal muscular atrophy, including physiological indicators, functional assessments, imaging features, and molecular markers, which are derived from the analysis of different tissues from human patients and animal models. This article provides a concise summary of the classic biomarkers widely used in current clinical practice and introduces the potential new biomarkers revealed by the latest research. It focuses on discussing the expression patterns, clinical correlations, and applicable conditions of various types of biomarkers, with the aim of providing more accurate basis for disease stratification, efficacy prediction, and treatment decision-making.
