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

objectivesTo evaluate the efficacy and safety of nusinersen in children with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) types 2 and 3.

methodsProspective data were collected on motor function, compound muscle action potential (CMAP), and spinal Cobb angle from 29 children with SMA type 2 or 3 treated with nusinersen at the Children's Medical Center of Xiangya Hospital, Central South University, from January 2022 to November 2025. Pre- and post-treatment changes were analyzed.

resultsOf the 29 children, 19 (66%) had a follow-up duration of ≥26 months. Compared with baseline, after 26 months of treatment, clinically meaningful improvement was observed in 53% (10/19) on the Hammersmith Functional Motor Scale-Expanded (HFMSE), 78% (14/18) on the Revised Upper Limb Module (RULM), and 89% (16/18) on the Motor Function Measure 20-item/32-item (MFM-20/32). CMAP amplitudes increased from baseline in the bilateral median, ulnar, and radial nerves (

conclusionsNusinersen is well tolerated and safe in children with SMA types 2 and 3. The proportions achieving clinically meaningful responses on motor-function scales and CMAP improvements increase over time, and rehabilitation training may enhance efficacy.
