Low Proarrhythmic Risk of Imetelstat, a Novel Oligonucleotide Telomerase Inhibitor: A Translational Analysis.
Trial report in Clinical and translational science, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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.
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
Evaluation of the proarrhythmic potential of imetelstat, a novel oligonucleotide telomerase inhibitor, in nonclinical and clinical studies is presented. In vitro, imetelstat sodium ≤ 750 μg/mL and negative (vehicle) and positive (cisapride) controls were evaluated for hERG channel current inhibition. In vivo, cynomolgus monkeys received a single vehicle control or imetelstat sodium (5 mg/kg [2-h infusion], 10 mg/kg [6-h infusion], or 15 mg/kg [6- or 24-h infusion]); cardiovascular parameters were collected before and after drug administration. A ventricular repolarization substudy of the IMerge phase III study evaluated patients with lower-risk myelodysplastic syndromes administered imetelstat 7.1 mg/kg active dose every 4 weeks; intensive electrocardiograms and pharmacokinetic samples were collected for concentration-QTc and by-time point analyses after a single dose. In vitro, imetelstat did not inhibit the hERG channel (IC
