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

Gene therapy has recently become a reality in the treatment of cardiovascular diseases. Strategies to modulate gene expression using antisense oligonucleotides or small interfering RNA are proving to be safe and effective in the clinic. Adeno-associated viral vector-based gene delivery and CRISPR-Cas9-based genome editing have emerged as efficient strategies for gene delivery and repair in humans. Overall, gene therapy holds the promise not only of expanding current treatment options, but also of intervening in previously untackled causal disease mechanisms with little side effects. This scientific statement provides a comprehensive overview of the various modalities of gene therapy used to treat heart failure and some of its risk factors, and their application in the clinical setting. It discusses specifically the possibilities of gene therapy for hereditary heart diseases and (non)-genetic heart failure. Furthermore, it addresses safety and clinical trial design issues and challenges for future regulatory strategies.
