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

Antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs) are an important class of therapeutics to treat genetic diseases, and expansion of this modality to neurodegenerative disorders has been an active area of research. To realize chronic administration of ASO therapeutics to treat neurodegenerative diseases, new chemical modifications that improve activity and safety profiles are still needed. Furthermore, it is highly desirable to develop a single stereopure ASO with a defined activity and safety profile to avoid any efficacy and safety concerns due to the batch-to-batch variation in the composition of diastereomers. Here, a stereopure PMO-gapmer was developed as a new construct to improve safety and stability by installing charge-neutral PMOs at the wing region and by fully controlling phosphorus stereochemistries. The developed stereopure PMO-gapmer construct was applied to the discovery of ASO candidates for the reduction of microtubule-associated protein tau (
