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

Poliovirus replicon vectors transiently express foreign proteins selectively in motor neurons of the anterior horn of the spinal cord. Here we intraspinally inoculated mice transgenic for the poliovirus receptor (PVR) with replicons encoding murine tumor necrosis factor alpha (mTNF-alpha). We detected high-level expression of mTNF-alpha in the spinal cords of these animals at 8-12 h post inoculation; this returned to background by 72 h. The mice exhibited ataxia and tail atony, whereas animals given a replicon encoding green fluorescent protein (GFP) exhibited no neurological symptoms. Histology of spinal cords from mice given the replicon encoding mTNF-alpha revealed neuronal chromatolysis, reactive astrogliosis, decreased expression of myelin basic protein, and demyelination. These animals recovered with only slight residual damage. This study shows that replicon vectors have potential for targeted delivery of therapeutic proteins to the central nervous system and provide a new approach for treatment of spinal cord trauma and neurological disease.
