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

Gene therapy strategies using adeno-associated virus (AAV) vectors to treat hereditary deafnesses have shown remarkable efficacy in some mouse models of hearing loss. Even so, there are few AAV capsids that transduce both inner and outer hair cells-the cells that express most deafness genes-and fewer still shown to transduce hair cells efficiently in primates. AAV capsids with robust transduction of inner and outer hair cells in primate cochlea will be needed for most clinical trials. Here, we test a capsid that we previously isolated from a random capsid library, AAV-S, for transduction in mouse and non-human primate inner ear. In both mice and cynomolgus macaques, AAV-S mediates highly efficient reporter gene expression in a variety of cochlear cells, including inner and outer hair cells, fibrocytes, and supporting cells. In a mouse model of Usher syndrome type 3A, AAV-S encoding CLRN1 robustly and durably rescues hearing. Overall, our data indicate that AAV-S is a promising candidate for therapeutic gene delivery to the human inner ear.
