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

There has been steady progress in antisense technology over the past 14 years. We now have a far better appreciation of the attributes and limitations of the technology. Antisense oligonucleotides have been used to selectively inhibit thousands of genes in mammalian cells, hundreds, if not thousands, of genes in rodents and other species and multiple genes in humans. There are over 20 antisense drugs currently in clinical trials, several of which are showing promising results. Like any other class of drugs in development, there will continue to be successes and failures in the clinic. Despite some disappointments with the technology, it appears to be a valid platform for both drug discovery and as an experimental tool for functionalizing genes. Advances in the medicinal chemistry and formulation of antisense oligonucleotides will further enhance their therapeutic and commercial potential.
