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

Mouse polyoma virus-like particles (or pseudocapsids) are composed solely of recombinant viral coat protein. They can interact with DNA and transport it to cells, resulting in gene expression both in tissue culture and in mice. We demonstrate that DNA transfer in vitro depends on partial packaging of DNA within the virus-like capsid. Cell surface sialic acid residues and an intact microtubule network, required for viral infectivity, are also necessary for pseudocapsid-mediated gene expression from heterologous DNA. Thus, gene delivery in this system requires pathways utilised by polyoma virions, rather than proceeding via the 'nonspecific' endosomal route typical of nonviral systems such as liposomes or calcium phosphate precipitates. Despite the fact that all cells appear to internalise pseudocapsid/DNA complexes, only a proportion show productive gene delivery. Bulk internalisation of complexes is dependent on actin fibres, but not cell surface sialic acid or microtubules, indicating that a second transport pathway exists for pseudocapsids which is nonproductive for gene transfer. The model suggested by these data demonstrates the virus-like properties of the pseudocapsid system, and provides a basis for further development to produce a highly effective gene delivery vehicle. Gene Therapy (2000) 7, 2122-2131.
