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

Many diseases affect pre-mRNA splicing, and alternative splicing is a major source of proteome diversity and an important mechanism for modulating gene expression. The ability to regulate a specific splicing event is therefore desirable; for example, to understand splicing-associated pathologies. We have developed methods based on modified U7 snRNAs, which allow us to induce efficient skipping or inclusion of selected exons. Here, we have adapted these U7 tools to a regulatable system that relies on a doxycycline-sensitive version of the Krüppel-associated box (KRAB)/KAP1 transcriptional silencing. Co-transduction of target cells with two lentiviral vectors, one carrying the KRAB protein and the other the regulatable U7 cassette, allows a tight regulation of the modified U7 snRNA. No leakage is observed in the repressed state, whereas full induction can be obtained with doxycycline in ng ml(-1) concentrations. Only a few days are necessary for a full switch, and the induction/repression can be repeated over several cycles without noticeable loss of control. Importantly, the U7 expression correlates with splicing correction, as shown for the skipping of an aberrant beta-globin exon created by a thalassaemic mutation and the promotion of exon 7 inclusion in the human SMN2 gene, an important therapeutic target for spinal muscular atrophy.
