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

backgroundThis study aimed to assess the safety and efficacy of a rAAV2 carrying normal ND4 (rAAV2-ND4) (NR082) in individuals with visual loss due to LHON carrying the m.11778G>A mutation. Additionally, it aimed to determine a safe dose of NR082 for intravitreal injection.

methodsThis was a single-arm, open-label, dose-finding clinical trial. A total of 12 participants with the m.11778G>A mitochondrial DNA mutation and vision loss exceeding 6 months in both eyes were enrolled in this trial. The participants received NR082 by unilateral intravitreal injections. 6 participants received 1.5 × 10

resultsNo serious ocular or systemic adverse events or dose-limiting toxicity were reported. Adverse events possibly related to treatment included uveitis, subconjunctival haemorrhage, vitreous opacity and keratic precipitates. In Group I, the mean baseline best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) in injected eyes improved from 1.86 ± 0.36 LogMAR at baseline to 1.59 ± 0.10 LogMAR in week 52 post intravitreal rAAV2-ND4. In Group II, baseline BCVA was 2.15 ± 0.23 LogMAR, improving to 1.92 ± 0.32 LogMAR in week 52. Two eyes in Group I and four eyes in Group II showed significant improvement (at least 0.3 LogMAR BCVA improvement) after 52 weeks.

conclusionThis Phase 1/2 trial demonstrated no serious safety concerns among the 12 participants. And dose of 4.5 × 10
