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

Recent advances in pathophysiological and genetic mechanisms of some neuromuscular diseases and a rapid progress in new pharmacological technologies led to an accelerated development of innovative treatments, generating an unexpected therapeutic revolution. In part 1, we report already commercially available drugs, just approved drugs and new therapeutic promises in the treatment of peripheral neuropathies. Hereditary transthyretin amyloidosis (hATTR) is a devastating disease due to amyloid accumulation in peripheral nerves, heart and autonomic system. The first specific drug approved for hATTR was tafamidis, a TTR tetramer stabilizer. In 2018, the positive results of two phase 3 trials have been reported leading to start of regulatory approval route for inotersen, an antisense oligonucleotide and patisiran, the first-ever RNA interference (RNAi) therapeutic. System biology targeting approach has indicated baclofen, naltrexone and sorbitol in combination (PXT3003) as candidate drugs for Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 1A. This hypothesis was confirmed in experimental models and in phase 2 and 3 clinical trials. Givosiran, another RNAi therapeutic, targeting 5-aminolevulinic acid synthase, has been positively tested in acute intermittent porphyria in phase 1/2 and ongoing phase 3 trials. Although allogenic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation resulted recently a long-term therapy in mitochondrial neurogastrointestinal encephalomyopathy (MNGIE), a new strategy is liver transplantation which is able to revert the severe biochemical and clinical imbalance of the disease. Recently, a gene therapy has been tested in a MNGIE murine model, indicating that it may become a new therapeutic option.
