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

Inherited retinal diseases (IRDs) are major causes of vision loss and often associated with the degeneration of retinal neurons, such as photoreceptors. Adeno-associated virus (AAV) vectors hold therapeutic potential for IRDs; however, their off-target expression has prompted the development of refined engineering strategies to enhance cell-type preference without compromising transgene expression. Here, we present G5mP, a streamlined 315-bp synthetic promoter-enhancer construct designed for robust retinal gene expression. G5mP integrates three components: G5, a G protein-coupled receptor kinase 1-derived enhancer; mP, a minimal promoter from phosphodiesterase 6B; and a 5'-untranslated region (UTR) derived from retinoschisin 1 (RS1). Compared with the clinically used 742-bp RIR cassette-comprising the RS1 promoter, interphotoreceptor retinoid-binding protein enhancer, and RS1-derived 5'-UTR-G5mP drove stronger overall retinal expression and showed enhanced activity within photoreceptor cells in retinal cell lines, human retinal organoids, and mouse retina without inducing detectable cytotoxicity
