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

Oligonucleotide therapeutics are a novel promising class of drugs designed to specifically target either coding or non-coding RNA molecules to revolutionize treatment of various diseases. During preclinical development, investigations of the pharmacokinetic characteristics of these oligonucleotide-based drug candidates are essential. Oligonucleotides possess a long history of chemical modifications to enhance their stability and binding affinity, as well as reducing toxicity. Phosphorothioate backbone modifications of oligonucleotides were a hallmark of this development process that greatly enhanced plasma stability and protein binding of these agents. Modifications such as 2'-O-methylation further improved stability, while other modifications of the ribose, such as locked nucleic acid (LNA) modification, significantly increased binding affinity, potency, and tissue half-life. These attributes render oligonucleotide therapeutics able to regulate protein expression in both directions depending on the target RNA. Thus, a growing interest has emerged using these oligonucleotides in the treatment of neurodegenerative and cardiac disorders as well as cancer, since the deregulation of certain coding and non-coding RNAs plays a key role in the development of these diseases. Cutting edge research is being performed in the field of non-coding RNAs, identifying potential therapeutic targets, and developing novel oligonucleotide-based agents that outperform classical drugs. Some of these agents are either in clinical trials showing promising results or are already US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved, with more oligonucleotides being developed for therapeutic purposes. This is the advent of mechanism-based next-generation therapeutics for a wide range of diseases.
