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.

Abstract

Angelman syndrome (AS) is a severe genetic neurodevelopmental disorder with no disease-modifying treatments. AS is caused by deletion or mutation of the neuronally imprinted gene encoding the ubiquitin-protein ligase E3A (UBE3A). Rugonersen (RO7248824) is an antisense oligonucleotide that reinstates UBE3A by derepressing the silenced paternal allele. TANGELO was a phase 1, multicenter, open-label, multiple-ascending-dose trial with a long-term extension to investigate the safety and tolerability (primary) and pharmacokinetics (secondary) of rugonersen in children aged 1-12 years with AS (n = 61, F/M: 28/33). Key exploratory endpoints assessing changes following rugonersen treatment were electroencephalogram δ-power (2-4 Hz) and domains of the Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development-Third Edition and Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales-Third Edition. The primary endpoint was met; rugonersen had an acceptable safety and tolerability profile. Analysis of exploratory endpoints showed that rugonersen led to a dose-dependent partial normalization of the AS-associated electroencephalogram abnormality and revealed signals of clinical improvement in core AS symptom domains beyond expectation from natural history data. The results of the primary study objective support continued development of rugonersen for AS. ClinicalTrials.gov registration: NCT04428281 .
