Review in Experimental eye research, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05573984 (A Natural History and Outcome Measure Discovery Study of PRPF31 Mutation-Associated Retinal Dystrophy), which is not on this map. Cited by 38 papers.

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.

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

Pathogenic variants in pre-messenger RNA (pre-mRNA) splicing factor 31, PRPF31, are the second most common genetic cause of autosomal dominant retinitis pigmentosa (adRP) in most populations. This remains a completely untreatable and incurable form of blindness, and it can be difficult to predict the clinical course of disease. In order to design appropriate targeted therapies, a thorough understanding of the genetics and molecular mechanism of this disease is required. Here, we present the structure of the PRPF31 gene and PRPF31 protein, current understanding of PRPF31 protein function and the full spectrum of all reported clinically relevant variants in PRPF31. We delineate the correlation between specific PRPF31 genotype and RP phenotype, suggesting that, except in cases of complete gene deletion or large-scale deletions, dominant negative effects contribute to phenotype as well as haploinsufficiency. This has important impacts on design of targeted therapies, particularly the feasibility of gene augmentation as a broad approach for treatment of PRPF31-associated RP. We discuss other opportunities for therapy, including antisense oligonucleotide therapy and gene-independent approaches and offer future perspectives on treatment of this form of RP.
