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

A novel oriP/EBNA1-based episomal vector has been constructed that persists episomally in cultured murine fibroblasts. The vector, pBH148, is equipped with the entire 185-kb human beta-globin gene locus. After amplification in bacteria, column-purified episomal pBH148 was transfected into both cultured EBNA1-expressing human D98/Raji positive control fusion cells (DRpBH148) and cultured EBNA1-negative murine fibroblast cells (A9pBH148). Cell cultures were maintained concurrently with and without hygromycin selection for a period of 3 months. We show long-term stable episome maintenance of the full-size 200-kb circular double-stranded pBH148 in both the DRpBH148 cultures and the A9pBH148 cultures, regardless of selective pressure by agarose gel electrophoresis and Southern blot. EBNA1 transgene was detected by PCR in all transfected cultures. In addition, we were able to detect correctly spliced human beta-globin mRNA by RT-PCR in all transfected late-passage DRpBH148 and A9pBH148 cell cultures. These findings illustrate that this oriP/EBNA1-based episomal vector is stable in a previously nonpermissive murine cell line and is a potential vector for human gene therapy.
