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

purposeTo investigate real-world safety and efficacy of voretigene neparvovec gene therapy administration in pediatric patients with biallelic RPE65 disease-causing variants.

methodsA retrospective study of 27 eyes of 14 patients with RPE65-associated Leber congenital amaurosis examined postoperative complications and longitudinal changes in photoreceptor function following treatment with subretinal injection of voretigene neparvovec. Full-field stimulus threshold testing (FST), Goldmann visual fields (GVF), best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), and central subfield thickness (CST) on optical coherence tomography (OCT) scans were collected preoperatively and up to 12 months posttreatment.

resultsBaseline through 6-12 month follow-up FST and GVF data were obtained for 13 eyes of 7 patients. FST improved for each eye after treatment with a mean improvement of 2.1 log-units (P < 0.001) and GVF improved for each eye with a mean improvement of 221 sum degrees (P < 0.001). BCVA improved from logMAR 0.98 at baseline to logMAR 0.83 at last follow-up (P < 0.001). Across 19 eyes of 10 patients included in CST analysis, there was a small but statistically significant 9-μ decrease in mean CST from baseline to last follow-up (P < 0.001). The most common postoperative issues included elevation in intraocular pressure (59%), persistent intraocular inflammation (15%), and vitreous opacities (26%) that resolved over a period of months.

conclusionsThis report provides some of the earliest longitudinal real-world evidence of the pediatric safety and efficacy of voretigene neparvovec using multiple functional and structural measures of the retina. Outcomes demonstrate significant improvements in visual function consistent with clinical trial results.
