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

Ornithine transcarbamylase deficiency is a rare X-linked genetic urea cycle disorder leading to episodes of acute hyperammonemia, adverse cognitive and neurological effects, hospitalizations, and in some cases death. DTX301, a non-replicating, recombinant self-complimentary adeno-associated virus vector serotype 8 (scAAV8)-encoding human ornithine transcarbamylase, is a promising gene therapy for ornithine transcarbamylase deficiency; however, the impact of sex and prophylactic immunosuppression on ornithine transcarbamylase gene therapy outcomes is not well characterized. This study sought to describe the impact of sex and immunosuppression in adult, sexually mature female and male cynomolgus macaques through day 140 after DTX301 administration. Four study groups (n = 3/group) were included: male non-immunosuppressed; male immunosuppressed; female non-immunosuppressed; and female immunosuppressed. DTX301 was well tolerated with and without immunosuppression; no notable differences were observed between female and male groups across outcome measures. Prednisolone-treated animals exhibited a trend toward greater vector genome and transgene expression, although the differences were not statistically significant. The hepatic interferon gene signature was significantly decreased in prednisolone-treated animals, and a significant inverse relationship was observed between interferon gene signature levels and hepatic vector DNA and transgene RNA. These observations were not sustained upon immunosuppression withdrawal. Further studies may determine whether the observed effect can be prolonged.
