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

Prolonged circulation and modulation of the pharmacokinetic profile are important to improve the clinical potential of antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs). Gapmer ASOs demonstrate excellent nuclease stability and robust gene silencing activity without the requirement of transfection agents. A major challenge for in vivo applications, however, is the short blood circulatory half-life. This work describes the utilization of the long circulation of serum albumin to increase the blood residence time of gapmer ASOs. The method introduces fatty acid modifications into the gapmer ASOs design to exploit the binding and transport property of serum albumin for endogenous ligands. The level of albumin-gapmer ASOs interaction, blood circulatory half-life, and biodistribution were dependent on number, position, and fatty acid type (palmitic or myristic acid) within the gapmer ASO sequence and either phosphorothioate or phosphodiester backbone modifications. This work offers a strategy to optimize gapmer ASO pharmacokinetics by a proposed endogenous assembly process with serum albumin that can be tuned by gapmer ASO design modifications.
