Efficacy of recombinant adenovirus as vector for allergen gene therapy in a mouse model of type I allergy.
Article in Gene therapy, 2002. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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
DNA-based immunization represents an attractive alternative approach to the current treatment of allergic diseases by specific immunotherapy with allergen extracts. In this study, we used a replication-deficient adenovirus vector (AdCMV), to examine the in vivo efficacy of preventive and therapeutic genetic immunization in a mouse model of type I allergy. Primary immunization with a recombinant adenovirus expressing the model antigen beta-galactosidase (AdCMV-(beta)gal) induced a Th1 immune response (predominance of IgG2a antibodies, high frequency of IFN-gamma producing T cells) and large numbers of cytotoxic T lymphocytes. Prophylactic vaccination with AdCMV-(beta)gal abolished the production of specific IgE following subsequent immunization with (beta)gal-protein, and skewed the Th2-biased immune response to a Th1-orientated response. In contrast, therapeutic administration of AdCMV-(beta)gal after priming with (beta)gal-protein neither significantly inhibited ongoing IgE production nor modulated a manifest Th2 immune response. Thus, allergen gene transfer via recombinant adenovirus represents an effective method to establish protection against the development of allergic disorders, but does not qualify as a therapeutic tool to interfere with ongoing high IgE production.
