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

Ectopic modulators of alternative splicing are important tools to study the function of splice variants and for correcting mis-splicing events that cause human diseases. Such modulators can be bifunctional oligonucleotides made of an antisense portion that determines target specificity, and a non-hybridizing tail that recruits proteins or RNA/protein complexes that affect splice site selection (TOSS and TOES, respectively, for targeted oligonucleotide silencer of splicing and targeted oligonucleotide enhancer of splicing). The use of TOSS and TOES has been restricted to a handful of targets. To generalize the applicability and demonstrate the robustness of TOSS, we have tested this approach on more than 50 alternative splicing events. Moreover, we have developed an algorithm that can design active TOSS with a success rate of 80%. To produce bifunctional oligonucleotides capable of stimulating splicing, we built on the observation that binding sites for TDP-43 can stimulate splicing and improve U1 snRNP binding when inserted downstream from 5' splice sites. A TOES designed to recruit TDP-43 improved exon 7 inclusion in SMN2. Overall, our study shows that bifunctional oligonucleotides can redirect splicing on a variety of genes, justifying their inclusion in the molecular arsenal that aims to alter the production of splice variants.
