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

Homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HoFH) is a rare autosomal disease characterized by severely elevated low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels and accelerated atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. More than 80% of patients with HoFH carry low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) mutations. Here we developed an adeno-associated virus gene therapy designed to express LDLR in the liver and evaluated its safety and efficacy in lowering LDL-C levels in experimental animals and in patients with HoFH. NGGT006, a recombinant adeno-associated virus serotype 8-based vector containing a codon-optimized LDLR complementary DNA, lowered LDL-C levels in Ldlr
