Hepatitis B virus vector carries a foreign gene into liver cells in vitro.
Article in Virus genes, 2002. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Hepatitis B viruses (HBV) specifically target the liver, where they efficiently infect quiescent hepatocytes. Thus, HBV virus has potential to be used as vectors for liver-directed gene transfer. We constructed a new HBV-based vector system. It is composed of transfer vector for transferring a foreign gene, green fluorescence protein (GFP) gene, and a helper vector. When the transfer vector and the helper vector were cotransfected into HepG2 cells, the recombinant HBV (rHBV) particles were generated by trans-complementation between two vectors. The rHBV particles carrying the foreign gene were identified by the Southern blot assay. To test gene delivery and the transduction of the rHBV, we infected primary human hepatocytes and immortalized, HepG2 cells with rHBV in vitro. The results using fluorescence microscopy confirmed that the inserted GFP gene was successfully transferred and expressed both in primary human hepatocytes and HepG2 cells.
