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

Non-infectious uveitis (NIU) is a painful recurrent disease affecting 2%-5% of horses. Current treatments require frequent administration with associated adverse events. In a previous study, intravitreal (IVT) adeno-associated virus (AAV) harboring equine interleukin-10 (eqIL-10) cDNA inhibited experimental uveitis in rats. The goal of this study was to evaluate the ocular tolerability, vector genome (vg) distribution, and vector shedding following an IVT injection of AAV8-eqIL-10 in normal horses with the hypothesis that it would be well tolerated in a dose-dependent manner in horses. Injections were well tolerated with mild transient signs of ocular inflammation; however, horses receiving the highest dose developed keratic precipitates. The vgs were not detected in the tears 3 days after injection, or in urine or feces at any time. Aqueous and vitreous humor eqIL-10 levels increased to higher than 1.5 ng/mL, more than 20 times higher than reported effective endogenous and induced levels. The vgs were detected in ocular tissues, and systemic distribution was identified only in the liver and kidney. No systemic effects were identified 86 days after dosing with IVT AAV-eqIL-10. Further investigation of lower doses of IVT AAV8-eqIL-10 therapy is an important next step toward a safe and effective single-dose treatment of equine uveitis with broader implications for treating NIU in humans.
