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 molecular pathogenesis underlying Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) neuropathy subtypes is becoming increasingly variable and identification of common approaches for treatment, independently of the disease causing gene defect, is therefore much desirable. Gene therapy approach from the clinical translational view point is particularly challenging for the most common "demyelinating" CMT1 subtypes, caused by primary Schwann cell genetic defects. Studies have shown that impaired regenerative capacity of distal axons is major contributing factor to distal axonal loss in primary Schwann cell genetic defects and neurotrophin 3 (NT-3) improves impaired regeneration in CMT1 mouse models. This review surveys the evidence supporting the rationale for AAV1.NT-3 surrogate gene therapy to improve nerve regeneration in CMT1A. The translational process, from proof of principal studies to the design of the phase I/IIa trial evaluating scAAV1.tMCK.NTF3 gene therapy for treatment of CMT1A is summarized.
