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

Morpholino oligomers have great therapeutic potential for treatment of a broad range of human diseases, including viral, bacterial, age-related and genetic diseases, but they suffer from poor systemic delivery into cells. Although various approaches have been undertaken to address the delivery problem, it remains as the major barrier of morpholinos to be used as effective therapeutics. This slow development is in part due to the cost of materials and the animal models used for screening the efficacy and safety of those delivery approaches. The need to have an inexpensive vertebrate model for assessing in vivo delivery of morpholinos is evident. Therefore, we have produced a novel transgenic zebrafish model containing a dual reporter cassette for determination of in vivo delivery, bio-distribution, and safety of a morpholino. The levels of morpholino delivered to the cells in various tissues can be determined by changes in reporter gene expressions caused by morpholino-induced exon-skipping. This chapter provides a description of the reagents, equipment, and procedure for successful retro-orbital injection of a peptide-conjugated morpholino into the blood stream of the adult zebrafish to cause targeted exon-skipping in the heart of the zebrafish.
