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.

Abstract

Hemophilia A and B are inherited bleeding disorders characterized by deficiencies in procoagulant factor VIII (FVIII) or factor IX (FIX), respectively. There remains a substantial unmet medical need in hemophilia, especially in patients with inhibitory antibodies against replacement factor therapy, for novel and improved therapeutic agents that can be used prophylactically to provide effective hemostasis. Guided by reports suggesting that co-inheritance of prothrombotic mutations may ameliorate the clinical phenotype in hemophilia, we developed an RNA interference (RNAi) therapeutic (ALN-AT3) targeting antithrombin (AT) as a means to promote hemostasis in hemophilia. When administered subcutaneously, ALN-AT3 showed potent, dose-dependent, and durable reduction of AT levels in wild-type mice, mice with hemophilia A, and nonhuman primates (NHPs). In NHPs, a 50% reduction in AT levels was achieved with weekly dosing at approximately 0.125 mg/kg, and a near-complete reduction in AT levels was achieved with weekly dosing at 1.5 mg/kg. Treatment with ALN-AT3 promoted hemostasis in mouse models of hemophilia and led to improved thrombin generation in an NHP model of hemophilia A with anti-factor VIII inhibitors. This investigational compound is currently in phase 1 clinical testing in subjects with hemophilia A or B.
