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

Lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV) is a noncytopathic arenavirus shown to infect a broad range of different cell types. Here, we combined the beneficial characteristics of the LCMV glycoprotein (LCMV-GP) and those of retroviral vectors to generate a new, safe, and efficient gene transfer system. These LCMV-GP pseudotypes were systematically compared with vectors containing the widely used amphotropic murine leukemia virus envelope (A-MLVenv) or the vesicular stomatitis virus G protein (VSV-G). Production of LCMV-GP-pseudotyped oncoretroviral and lentiviral vectors by transient transfection resulted in vector titers similar to those with A-MLVenv or VSV-G. In contrast to A-MLVenv particles, LCMV-GP pseudotypes could be efficiently concentrated by ultracentrifugation without loss of vector titer. Unlike the cell-toxic VSV-G, a stable retroviral packaging cell line constitutively expressing LCMV-GP could be established. Vectors pseudotyped with LCMV-GP efficiently transduced many cell lines from different species and tissues relevant for gene therapy. Transduction of human glioma cells was studied in detail. These cells are a major target for cancer gene therapy and were transduced more efficiently with LCMV-GP-pseudotyped vectors than with the generally used A-MLVenv particles. The high stability, low toxicity, and broad host range make LCMV-GP-pseudotyped vectors attractive for gene transfer applications. The recombinant LCMV-GP-pseudotyped vectors will also allow functional characterization of naturally occurring and recombinant LCMV-GP variants.
