Retinal AAV8-RS1 Gene Therapy for X-Linked Retinoschisis: Initial Findings from a Phase I/IIa Trial by Intravitreal Delivery.
Trial report in Molecular therapy : the journal of the American Society of Gene Therapy, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT02317887 (A Phase I/IIa Study of RS1 Ocular Gene Transfer for X-linked Retinoschisis), which is not on this map. Cited by 165 papers, 4 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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.

Abstract
This study evaluated the safety and tolerability of ocular RS1 adeno-associated virus (AAV8-RS1) gene augmentation therapy to the retina of participants with X-linked retinoschisis (XLRS). XLRS is a monogenic trait affecting only males, caused by mutations in the RS1 gene. Retinoschisin protein is secreted principally in the outer retina, and its absence results in retinal cavities, synaptic dysfunction, reduced visual acuity, and susceptibility to retinal detachment. This phase I/IIa single-center, prospective, open-label, three-dose-escalation clinical trial administered vector to nine participants with pathogenic RS1 mutations. The eye of each participant with worse acuity (≤63 letters; Snellen 20/63) received the AAV8-RS1 gene vector by intravitreal injection. Three participants were assigned to each of three dosage groups: 1e9 vector genomes (vg)/eye, 1e10 vg/eye, and 1e11 vg/eye. The investigational product was generally well tolerated in all but one individual. Ocular events included dose-related inflammation that resolved with topical and oral corticosteroids. Systemic antibodies against AAV8 increased in a dose-related fashion, but no antibodies against RS1 were observed. Retinal cavities closed transiently in one participant. Additional doses and immunosuppressive regimens are being explored to pursue evidence of safety and efficacy (ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT02317887).
