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

Antisense oligonucleotide (ASO)-based exon skipping is a representative splice modulating therapy effective for Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), a condition arising from dystrophin deficiency. For a valuable platform of evaluating exon-skipping efficacy, we previously reported a highly effective approach to convert CD90-positive human urine-derived cells (UDCs) into myotubes through the transduction of the MYOD1 gene. We anticipate that highly differentiated myotubes enable their utilization in various human muscle cell studies and a more predictive screening approach for the preclinical identification of promising ASOs at an earlier stage of the drug discovery process. Here, we describe protocols and tips for isolating UDCs, differentiating CD90-positive UDCs into myotubes, and evaluating the correction of DMD mRNA and protein levels in the myotubes after exon skipping.
