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

One promising approach for the gene therapy of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is exon skipping. When thinking of possible intervention on human, it is very crucial to identify the most appropriate antisense sequences able to provide the highest possible skipping efficiency. In this article, we compared the exon 51 skipping activity of 10 different antisense molecules, raised against splice junctions and/or exonic splicing enhancers (ESEs), expressed as part of the U1 small nuclear RNA (snRNA). The effectiveness of each construct was tested in human DMD myoblasts carrying the deletion of exons 48-50, which can be treated with skipping of exon 51. Our results show that the highest skipping activity and dystrophin rescue is achieved upon expression of a U1 snRNA-derived antisense molecule targeting exon 51 splice sites in combination with an internal exon sequence. The efficacy of this molecule was further proven on an exon 45-50 deletion background, utilizing patient's fibroblasts transdifferentiated into myoblasts. In this system, we showed that the selected antisense was able to produce 50% skipping of exon 51.
