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

Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is the most prevalent cause of registered visual handicap among working aged populations of developed countries. Up to 40% of autosomal dominant cases of disease are caused by mutations within the rhodopsin, RDS-peripherin and inosine 5'-monophosphate dehydrogenase type 1 (IMPDH1) genes, at least 30 mutations within which give rise to proteins that cause disease pathology by misfolding and aggregation. Given the genetic complexity of this disease, therapies that simultaneously target multiple mutations are of substantial logistic and economic significance. We show here, in a murine model of autosomal dominant RP (RP10) involving expression of an Arg224Pro mutation within the IMPDH1 gene, that treatment with the low-molecular-weight drug, 17-allylamino-17-demethoxygeldanamycin (17-AAG), an ansamycin antibiotic that binds to heat shock protein Hsp90, activating a heat shock response in mammalian cells, protects photoreceptors against degeneration induced by aggregating mutant IMPDH1 protein, systemic delivery of this low-molecular-weight drug to the retina being facilitated by RNA interference-mediated modulation of the inner-blood retina barrier. 17-AAG has an orphan drug status and is in current clinical use for the treatment of non-ocular diseases. These data show that a single low-molecular-weight drug has the potential to suppress a wide range of mutant proteins causing RP.
