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

X-linked myotubular myopathy (XLMTM) is a rare and severe neuromuscular disorder commonly characterized by profound skeletal muscle weakness, significant co-morbid disabilities, and early death. XLMTM has traditionally been viewed as primarily a disorder of skeletal muscle. However, there is an emerging appreciation of extra-muscular symptom involvement in XLMTM, most notably hepatobiliary disease. As promising genetic therapies for XLMTM rapidly advance, incomplete understanding of these manifestations has presented a significant barrier to safe and effective clinical translation, as well limited understanding of disease management and patient outcomes. In this review, we provide an update on the recent advances in XLMTM drug development, examine emerging data on XLMTM-associated liver disease and its impact on therapeutic development, and discuss future directions for understanding and targeting the serious non-muscle manifestations of this disorder.
