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

Rare diseases affect one in ten people but only a small fraction of these diseases have an FDA-approved treatment. Haploinsufficiency, caused by a dominant loss-of-function mutation, is a unique rare disease group because patients have one normal allele of the affected gene. This makes rare haploinsufficiency diseases promising candidates for drug development by increasing expression of the normal gene allele, decreasing the target protein degradation and enhancing the target protein function. This review summarizes recent progresses and approaches used in the translational research of therapeutics to treat haploinsufficiency diseases including gene therapy, nucleotide-based therapeutics and small-molecule drug development. We hope that these drug development strategies will accelerate therapeutic development to treat haploinsufficiency diseases.
