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

AAV-mediated gene therapy is a promising approach for treating genetic hearing loss. Replacement or editing of the Tmc1 gene, encoding hair cell mechanosensory ion channels, is effective for hearing restoration in mice with some limitations. Efficient rescue of outer hair cell function and lack of hearing recovery with later-stage treatment remain issues to be solved. Exogenous genes delivered with the adeno-associated virus (AAV)9-PHP.B capsid via the utricle transduce both inner and outer hair cells of the mouse cochlea with high efficacy. Here, we demonstrate that AAV9-PHP.B gene therapy can promote hair cell survival and successfully rescues hearing in three distinct mouse models of hearing loss. Tmc1 replacement with AAV9-PHP.B in a Tmc1 knockout mouse rescues hearing and promotes hair cell survival with equal efficacy in inner and outer hair cells. The same treatment in a recessive Tmc1 hearing-loss model, Baringo, partially recovers hearing even with later-stage treatment. Finally, dual delivery of Streptococcus pyogenes Cas9 (SpCas9) and guide RNA (gRNA) in separate AAV9-PHP.B vectors selectively disrupts a dominant Tmc1 allele and preserves hearing in Beethoven mice, a model of dominant, progressive hearing loss. Tmc1-targeted gene therapies using single or dual AAV9-PHP.B vectors offer potent and versatile approaches for treating dominant and recessive deafness.
