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 develop a reliable strategy for cell-specific delivery of retroviral vectors, we genetically modified the envelope (Env) protein of the ecotropic Moloney murine leukemia virus. We found a site in the variable region A, where the insertion of ligands, epidermal growth factor (EGF) and stromal-derived factor-1 alpha (SDF-1 alpha), was possible without abolishing virion incorporation of the Env protein and its ecotropic entry function. The vector containing the EGF-Env did not show the EGF receptor-dependent transduction. The vector containing the SDF-1 alpha-Env, however, specifically transduced human cells expressing CXCR4, the receptor for SDF-1 alpha, at titers of 10(3)-10(4) c.f.u./ml. Further experiments showed that the CXCR4-dependent transduction was based on the specific interaction between the SDF-1 alpha moiety of the SDF-1 alpha-Env and CXCR4 and was independent of the ecotropic entry function. The direct targeting of the retroviral vector may be possible if the proper chimeric Env structure and the appropriate ligand-receptor system are employed.
