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 leading cause of inherited blindness in the developed world, affecting approximately 1 in 3000 individuals. Although there is currently no cure for RP, the genetic pathology has been well established. In this study, we developed a novel mouse model of RP (huRhoP347S) expressing a pathogenic human rhodopsin gene with a Pro347Ser (P347S) mutation on a rhodopsin knockout background. These mice undergo severe retinal degeneration at 1 month of age. In contrast to prior studies, this model was administered a gene therapy treatment at 19 days postnata. We evaluated several self-complementary adeno-associated virus (AAV) serotypes for photoreceptor tropism, including scAAV2/2, scAAV2/5, scAAV2/6.2 and scAAV2/9, and found that scAAV2/9 transduced photoreceptors with greater efficiency and expression than other vectors. We engineered an scAAV2/9 vector to contain a microRNA sequence specifically targeting the human rhodopsin gene and demonstrated its ability to silence rhodopsin by 60.2±8.2% in vitro. In addition, we constructed an scAAV2/9 vector to contain a replacement 'codon-modified' rhodopsin transgene (RhoR2) that was resistant to degradation by the microRNA. We found that delivery of the RhoR2 by scAAV2/9 is capable of restoring vision to rhodopsin knockout mice, and rescuing our novel transgenic huRhoP347S mouse model of dominant RP. Average a-wave responses of RhoR2-injected eyes were 1.8-fold higher than those of control-injected eyes. We found that delivery of the microRNA and replacement rhodopsin in a 1:2 ratio produced an average electroretinography (ERG) a-wave response of 17.4±2.9 compared to 6.5±2.8 μV for eyes injected with negative control virus.
