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

We have developed a system for producing murine leukemia virus (MLV) pseudotyped with human hepatitis B virus (HBV) large (L) and small (S) surface antigens (HBsAg) for targeting primary human hepatocytes. Using the MLV(HBV) pseudotype virus containing a beta-galactosidase reporter gene, we demonstrated that this pseudotype virus exhibits strict tropism for primary human hepatocytes, similar to the natural target cell specificity of HBV. It does not infect any of the established tissue culture cell lines, including human hepatoma cell lines (HepG2 and Huh-7), or rat primary hepatocytes. The infectivity of MLV(HBV) for human hepatocytes was inhibited by anti-HBs antibody. The L form of HBsAg was both necessary and sufficient for virus infectivity, but the presence of both L and S forms enhanced the surface expression of HBsAg and thus increased virus production. The middle form of HBsAg was not necessary. This pseudotype virus bypasses the requirement for the liver-specific transcription factors for HBV replication, enabling direct study of HBV tissue tropism conferred by the viral envelope proteins. This virus also offers a potential liver-specific targeting system for gene therapy.
