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-expression programs modulated by transcription factors (TFs) mediate key developmental events. Here, we show that the synthetic transcriptional repressor (TR; ZF6-DB), designed to treat Rhodopsin-mediated autosomal dominant retinitis pigmentosa (RHO-adRP), does not perturb murine retinal development, while maintaining its ability to block Rho expression transcriptionally. To express ZF6-DB into the developing retina, we pursued two approaches, (i) the retinal delivery (somatic expression) of ZF6-DB by Adeno-associated virus (AAV) vector (AAV-ZF6-DB) gene transfer during retinogenesis and (ii) the generation of a transgenic mouse (germ-line transmission, TR-ZF6-DB). Somatic and transgenic expression of ZF6-DB during retinogenesis does not affect retinal function of wild-type mice. The P347S mouse model of RHO-adRP, subretinally injected with AAV-ZF6-DB, or crossed with TR-ZF6-DB or shows retinal morphological and functional recovery. We propose the use of developmental transitions as an effective mode to challenge the safety of retinal gene therapies operating at genome, transcriptional, and transcript levels.
