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

Methods for the quantification of antisense oligonucleotides (AONs) provide insightful information on biodistribution and intracellular trafficking. However, the established methods have not provided information on the absolute number of molecules in subcellular compartments or about how many AONs are needed for target gene reduction for unconjugated AONs. We have developed a new method for nuclear AON quantification that enables us to determine the absolute number of AONs per nucleus without relying on AON conjugates such as fluorophores that may alter AON distribution. This study describes an alternative and label-free method using subcellular fractionation, nucleus counting, and locked nucleic acid (LNA) sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay to quantify absolute numbers of oligonucleotides in nuclei. Our findings show compound variability (diversity) by which 247,000-693,000 LNAs/nuclei results in similar target reduction for different compounds. This method can be applied to any antisense drug discovery platform providing information on specific and clinically relevant AONs. Finally, this method can directly compare nuclear entry of AON with target gene knockdown for any compound design and nucleobase sequence, gene target, and phosphorothioate stereochemistry.
