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

This study summarizes our initial efforts to address an issue that is critical to the success of any multicenter gene therapy clinical trial - maintenance of vector viability during shipping and storage at remote test sites. We have identified formulation and processing factors that influence stability of viral preparations such as selection of appropriate buffer systems, cryoprotectants, and storage conditions. Adenovirus and adeno-associated virus expressing E. coli beta-galactosidase (lacZ) were suspended in blends of complex carbohydrates, cyclodextrins and various surfactants. X-gal stains of 293 and 84-31 cells were used to determine infectious titer of all preparations. Potassium phosphate-buffered preparations consistently maintained high viral titers after storage at -20 and 4 degrees C. Blends of sucrose, mannitol, and surfactant showed negligible loss of titer for 35 days at 4 degrees C. Formulations of sucrose and cyclodextrin were stable for 2 years at -20 degrees C. Negligible loss in titer was observed in unit-dose viral preparations lyophilized in sucrose and stored at 4 degrees C for 1 year after an initial loss of 0.5 log due to processing. Studies with lyophilized sucrose/mannitol blends have shown that viral recovery after processing is directly related to the final moisture content of the dried product. Virus concentration also plays a significant role in recovery after processing with highly concentrated preparations showing minimal loss in titer after lyophilization. In summary, lyophilized preparations that can be shipped and stored at 25 degrees C offer a solution to the current problem of distribution of viral vectors for clinical trials.
