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

backgroundDp140-related mutations associate with neurodevelopmental impairments in Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), their effects on cortical similarity network organization remain unclear. PURPOSE: To characterize alterations in morphometric similarity networks (MSN) in DMD with different Dp140 genotypes, assess their associations with clinical phenotypes and gene expression. STUDY TYPE: Prospective. POPULATION: One hundred and fifteen boys with DMD (75 Dp140-: 9.63 ± 2.25 years; 40 Dp140+: 10.99 ± 2.25 years) and 69 healthy controls (all male, 10.65 ± 2.43 years). FIELD STRENGTH/SEQUENCE: Gradient echo at 3 T. ASSESSMENT: MRI were processed using FreeSurfer and GRETNA. Behavior data were based on Wechsler Intelligence Scale for children-Fourth edition while transcriptional profiles were from the Allen Human Brain Atlas. STATISTICAL TESTS: Independent T-tests, chi-square tests, general linear models, permutation testing, multivariable linear regression, mediation analyses, partial least squares regression, spatial permutation tests (Spin test), Gene Ontology enrichment analysis and cell-type analysis. FDR-corrected p < 0.05 and p

resultsDp140- subgroup had lower working memory index (WMI) than Dp140+ DMD (81.63 ± 15.48 vs. 90.78 ± 15.31; p = 0.01, Cohen's d = 0.179). Dp140- DMD showed reduced cortical similarity in bilateral lateral prefrontal cortex and parietal cortex regions, increased modular segregation (Hedge's g = -0.298, 95% CI [-0.408, -0.187]), and more hubs loss within frontal parietal network (FPN). The indirect effect of Dp140 genotype on WMI through mean FPN cortical similarity was significant (β = -0.121, p = 0.03, 95% CI [-0.282, -0.001]). The Dp140-specific MSN changes were spatially associated with transcriptional profile, which are enriched in neuronal projection development pathways of excitatory neurons (p DATA

conclusionBy linking genotype, neuroimaging, and transcriptional data, these findings offer further insight into mechanisms possibly involved in working memory deficits among Dp140- DMD. EVIDENCE LEVEL: 2. TECHNICAL EFFICACY: Stage 2.
