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

To achieve high transgene expression in the liver, we have compared the reporter gene expression among various murine retroviral long terminal repeats (LTRs) or leader sequences in vitro. Transient reporter gene expression assays revealed the highest gene expression by the polycythemic strain of spleen focus-forming virus (SFFVp) LTR in differentiated hepatocellular carcinoma cell lines, HuH-7 and PLC/PRF/5. However, remarkable difference was not observed among LTRs in other types of human liver tumor cell lines. Essentially the same results were obtained by infecting these cells with a series of retroviral vectors. Repression of transgene expression was observed by the leader sequences from Moloney murine leukemia virus (MoMLV), but not from mouse embryonic stem cell virus (MESV). Strengths of the promoters were further compared in murine hepatocytes in vivo. Although the proportions of genomic integration were almost the same, higher gene expression was observed by the FMEV-type vector, which contained the SFFVp LTR and the MESV leader, in comparison with that by the MoMLV-based vector. Thus, FMEV-type vectors may represent a novel type of vectors for human gene therapy with hepatocytes.
