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

Neurological disorders with onset before or at birth are a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in infants and children. Prenatal treatment has the potential to reduce or prevent irreversible neuronal loss and facilitate normal neurodevelopment. We hypothesized that antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs) delivered to the amniotic fluid by intra-amniotic (IA) injection could safely distribute to the fetal central nervous system (CNS) and provide therapeutic benefit in the motor neuron disease spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), caused by mutations of the survival of motor neuron 1 gene (
