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

Nucleic acids drugs have been proven in the clinic as a powerful modality to treat inherited and acquired diseases. However, key challenges including drug stability, renal clearance, cellular uptake, and movement across biological barriers (foremost the blood-brain barrier) limit the translation and clinical efficacy of nucleic acid-based therapies, both systemically and in the central nervous system. In this study we provide an overview of an emerging class of nucleic acid therapeutic, called DNAzymes. In particular, we review the use of chemical modifications and carrier molecules for the stabilization and/or delivery of DNAzymes in cell and animal models. Although this review focuses on DNAzymes, the strategies described are broadly applicable to most nucleic acid technologies. This review should serve as a general guide for selecting chemical modifications to improve the therapeutic performance of DNAzymes.
