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

Propionic acidaemia is a rare disorder caused by defects in the propionyl-coenzyme A carboxylase α or β (PCCA or PCCB) subunits that leads to an accumulation of toxic metabolites and to recurrent, life-threatening metabolic decompensation events. Here we report interim analyses of a first-in-human, phase 1/2, open-label, dose-optimization study and an extension study evaluating the safety and efficacy of mRNA-3927, a dual mRNA therapy encoding PCCA and PCCB. As of 31 May 2023, 16 participants were enrolled across 5 dose cohorts. Twelve of the 16 participants completed the dose-optimization study and enrolled in the extension study. A total of 346 intravenous doses of mRNA-3927 were administered over a total of 15.69 person-years of treatment. No dose-limiting toxicities occurred. Treatment-emergent adverse events were reported in 15 out of the 16 (93.8%) participants. Preliminary analysis suggests an increase in the exposure to mRNA-3927 with dose escalation, and a 70% reduction in the risk of metabolic decompensation events among 8 participants who reported them in the 12-month pretreatment period.
