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

Adeno-associated virus (AAV)-based gene therapy could be facilitated by the development of molecular switches to control the magnitude and timing of expression of therapeutic transgenes. RNA interference (RNAi)-based approaches hold unique potential as a clinically proven modality to pharmacologically regulate AAV gene dosage in a sequence-specific manner. We present a generalizable RNAi-based rheostat wherein hepatocyte-directed AAV transgene expression is silenced using the clinically validated modality of chemically modified small interfering RNA (siRNA) conjugates or vectorized co-expression of short hairpin RNA (shRNA). For transgene induction, we employ REVERSIR technology, a synthetic high-affinity oligonucleotide complementary to the siRNA or shRNA guide strand to reverse RNAi activity and rapidly recover transgene expression. For potential clinical development, we report potent and specific siRNA sequences that may allow selective regulation of transgenes while minimizing unintended off-target effects. Our results establish a conceptual framework for RNAi-based regulatory switches with potential for infrequent dosing in clinical settings to dynamically modulate expression of virally-delivered gene therapies.
