Safety and vision outcomes of subretinal gene supplementation therapy in
Trial report in The British journal of ophthalmology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
purpose
methodsIn an open-label, non-randomised controlled phase I/IIa trial, nine patients with biallelic
resultsThe mean patient age was 40.1 years, with baseline BCVA ranging from 40 to 82 letters (0.9-0.1 logMAR). No systemic adverse events occurred, and most ocular events resolved without treatment. Persistent adverse events included small peripheral atrophic areas (n=2), disturbed colour discrimination (n=3), cataract (n=1), slight central retinal thinning (n=5) and moderate visual acuity loss (n=2, 1 in each dose group). BCVA, full-field stimulus thresholds and other visual function measures showed statistically non-significant changes, with a trend towards worsening of retinal sensitivity in the treated eyes.
conclusionSubretinal gene therapy with AAV8.hPDE6A did not improve visual function over 1 year and posed risks, including central retinal thinning and visual acuity decline. This is in contrast to the safety and efficacy profile established in preclinical models.
