Treatment with Volanesorsen, a 2'-O-Methoxyethyl-Modified Antisense Oligonucleotide Targeting
Trial report in Nucleic acid therapeutics, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to assess the effect of volanesorsen on the corrected QT (QTc) interval. This thorough QT study enrolled 52 healthy male and female subjects who were randomized at a single site in a four-way crossover study. Subjects were randomly assigned to 1 of 12 treatment sequences and crossed over into four treatment periods over the course of which each subject was to receive a single therapeutic dose of volanesorsen as a 300 mg subcutaneous (SC) injection, a single supratherapeutic dose of volanesorsen as 300 mg intravenous (IV) infusion, a single oral (PO) dose of moxifloxacin (positive control), and placebo dose. The study demonstrated that volanesorsen 300 mg SC and 300 mg IV did not have a clinically relevant effect on ΔΔQTcF exceeding 10 ms. The largest mean effect at any postdose time point was 3.0 ms (90% confidence interval [CI]: 0.8-5.2) after SC dosing and 1.8 ms (90% CI -0.4 to 4.0) after IV dosing. Volanesorsen, at the studied therapeutic and supratherapeutic doses, does not have a clinically meaningful effect on the QTc.
