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

Currently, gapmer antisense oligonucleotide (ASO) therapeutics are under clinical development for the treatment of various diseases, including previously intractable human disorders; however, they have the potential to induce hepatotoxicity. Although several groups have reported the reduced hepatotoxicity of gapmer ASOs following chemical modifications of sugar residues or internucleotide linkages, only few studies have described nucleobase modifications to reduce hepatotoxicity. In this study, we introduced single or multiple combinations of 17 nucleobase derivatives, including four novel derivatives, into hepatotoxic locked nucleic acid gapmer ASOs and examined their effects on hepatotoxicity. The results demonstrated successful identification of chemical modifications that strongly reduced the hepatotoxicity of gapmer ASOs. This approach expands the ability to design gapmer ASOs with optimal therapeutic profiles.
