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

Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) involves chronic degeneration and regeneration, causing dystrophic muscle stem cells (MuSCs) to differ from uninjured wild-type tissue. Conventional disease-versus-resting-control comparisons may therefore conflate dysregulation with regeneration. We developed a physiological reference-mapping framework integrating normal regeneration trajectories with replicated dystrophic datasets to estimate disease-associated deviations relative to regenerative state and spatial context. We applied it across single-cell/single-nucleus, bulk, and spatial RNA-sequencing datasets. In a replicated genotype-by-state MuSC dataset comprising wild-type (WT) and dystrophin-deficient mdx mouse samples across four lineage states, with three biological replicates per group, activated mdx MuSCs showed excessive extracellular matrix induction (standardized mdx-WT difference = 1.431; FDR = 3.69 × 10
