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

Gene therapy for inherited retinal degeneration in which expression of a mutant allele has a gain-of-function effect on photoreceptor cells is likely to depend on efficient silencing of the mutated allele. Peripherin-2 (Prph2, also known as peripherin/RDS) is an abundantly expressed photoreceptor-specific gene. In humans, gain-of-function mutations in PRPH2 result in both autosomal dominant retinitis pigmentosa and dominant maculopathies. Gene-silencing strategies for these conditions include RNA interference by short hairpin RNAs (shRNAs). Recent evidence suggests that microRNA (miRNA)-based hairpins may offer a safer and more effective alternative. In this study, we used for the first time a virally transferred miRNA-based hairpin to silence Prph2 in the murine retina. The results show that an miRNA-based shRNA can efficiently and specifically silence Prph2 in vivo as early as 3 weeks after AAV2/8-mediated subretinal delivery, leading to a nearly 50% reduction of photoreceptor cells after 5 weeks. We conclude that miRNA-based hairpins can achieve rapid and robust gene silencing after efficient vector-mediated delivery to the retina. The rationale of using an miRNA-based template to improve the silencing efficiency of a hairpin may prove valuable for allele-specific silencing in which the choice for an RNAi target is limited and offers an alternative therapeutic strategy for the treatment of dominant retinopathies.
