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

RNA interference (RNAi) gene silencing is a potential therapeutic strategy for dominant retinal degeneration disorders. We used self-complementary (sc) AAV2/8 vector to develop an RNAi-based gene therapy in a dominant retinal degeneration mouse model expressing bovine GCAP1(Y99C). We established an in vitro shRNA screening assay based on EGFP-tagged bovine GCAP1, and identified a shRNA that effectively silenced the bovine GCAP1 transgene with ∼80% efficiency. Subretinal injection of scAAV2/8 carrying shRNA expression cassette showed robust expression as early as 1 wk after injection. The gene silencing significantly improved photoreceptor survival, delayed disease onset, and increased visual function. Our results provide a promising strategy toward effective RNAi-based gene therapy by scAAV2/8 delivery for dominant retinal diseases.
