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

RNase H1-dependent antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs) can degrade complementary RNAs in both the nucleus and the cytoplasm. Since cytoplasmic mRNAs are actively engaged in translation, ASO activity may thus be affected by translating ribosomes that scan the mRNAs. Here we show that mRNAs associated with ribosomes can be cleaved using ASOs and that translation can alter ASO activity. Translation inhibition tends to increase ASO activity when targeting the coding regions of efficiently translated mRNAs, but not nuclear non-coding RNAs or less efficiently translated mRNAs. Increasing the level of RNase H1 protein eliminated the enhancing effects of translation inhibition on ASO activity, suggesting that RNase H1 recruitment to ASO/mRNA heteroduplexes is a rate limiting step and that translating ribosomes can inhibit RNase H1 recruitment. Consistently, ASO activity was not increased by translation inhibition when targeting the 3' UTRs, independent of the translation efficiency of the mRNAs. Contrarily, the activity of 3' UTR-targeting ASOs tended to be reduced upon translation inhibition, likely due to decreased accessibility. These results indicate that ASO activity can be affected by the translation process, and the findings also provide important information toward helping better ASO drug design.
