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

Classical late-infantile neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis (LINCL) is a hereditary neurodegenerative disease of childhood that is caused by mutations in the gene (CLN2) encoding the lysosomal protease tripeptidyl-peptidase I (TPPI). LINCL is fatal and there is no treatment of demonstrated efficacy in affected children but preclinical studies with AAV-mediated gene therapy have demonstrated promise in a mouse model. Here, we have generated mouse CLN2-mutants that express different amounts of TPPI activity to benchmark levels required for therapeutic benefits. Approximately 3% of normal TPPI activity in brain delayed disease onset and doubled lifespan to a median of approximately 9 months compared to mice expressing approximately 0.2% of normal levels. Expression of 6% of normal TPPI activity dramatically attenuated disease, with a median lifespan of approximately 20 months which approaches that of unaffected mice. While the lifespan of this hypomorph is shortened, disease is late-onset, less severe and progresses slowly compared to mice expressing lower TPPI levels. For gene therapy and other approaches that restore enzyme activity, these results suggest that 6% of normal TPPI activity throughout the CNS of affected individuals will provide a significant therapeutic benefit but higher levels will be required to cure this disease.
