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

Antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs) are commonly used to induce transient changes in gene expression and do not result in mutagenic effects at the DNA level. In this chapter, we describe a novel gene silencing approach using splice-switching oligonucleotides (SSOs) capable of hybridizing at a splice site to induce exon skipping. This strategy is based on the elimination of an exon whose nucleotide length is not a multiple of 3. In this way, exon skipping induces a frameshift in the reading frame and the appearance of a premature termination codon (PTC) on the alternative transcript. After detection of the PTC, alternative transcripts are degraded by the NMD pathway. Here, we present the steps involved in the SSO design, cell treatment, and assessment of gene silencing. We provide evidence for efficient knockdown of Enhancer of Zeste Homolog 2 (EZH2) expression in lymphoid cells.
