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

Diseases caused by alterations in the DNA can be overcome by providing the cells or tissues with a functional copy of the mutated gene. The most common form of gene therapy implies adding an extra genetic unit into the cell. However, new genome engineering techniques also allow the modification or correction of the existing allele, providing new possibilities, especially for dominant diseases. Gene therapies have been tested for 30 years in thousands of clinical trials, but presently, we have only three authorised gene therapy products for the treatment of inherited diseases in European Union. Here, we describe the gene therapy alternatives already on the market in the European Union and expand the scope to some clinical trials. Additionally, we discuss the ethical and regulatory issues raised by the development of these new kinds of therapies.
