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

The ability to activate or repress specific genes in the brain could have a tremendous impact for understanding and treating neurological disorders. Artificial transcription factors based on zinc finger, TALE, and CRISPR/Cas9 programmable DNA-binding platforms have been widely used to regulate the expression of specific genes in cultured cells, but their delivery into the brain represents a critical challenge to apply such tools in live animals. In previous work, we developed a purified, zinc finger-based artificial transcription factor that could be injected systemically, cross the blood-brain barrier, and alter expression of a specific gene in the brain of an adult mouse model of Angelman syndrome. Importantly, our mode of delivery produced widespread distribution throughout the brain. Here we describe our most current methods for the production and purification of the factor, dosage optimization, and use of live animal fluorescence imaging to visualize the kinetics of distribution.
