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

Investigations into the pharmacokinetic distribution of unlabelled drugs in tissue can often be challenging, especially when the drug moiety is an oligonucleotide. Detecting the cellular distribution of specific nucleotide sequences of short (17-25 nucleotide) single- or double-stranded unconjugated oligonucleotides in formalin-fixed paraffin embedded tissue sections is required to understand, where the biodistribution of the drug is at the whole organ and tissue level, down to subcellular resolution. To address this, we present here new chromogenic and fluorescent commercial in situ hybridization-based assays that allow us to specifically and sensitively detect unconjugated oligonucleotides down to subcellular resolution, irrespective of backbone chemistry and modifications. These assays can also be run as ISH-IHC or ISH-IF co-detection protocols to determine cell lineages and represent a powerful and versatile tool in the drug discovery repertoire.
