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

Gene therapy vectors derived from lentiviruses offer many potentially unique advantages over more conventional retroviral gene delivery systems. Principal amongst these is their ability to provide long-term and stable gene expression and to infect non-dividing cells, such as neurons. However, the use of lentiviral-based vectors in the clinic also raises specific safety and ethical issues. Concerns include the possible generation of replication competent lentiviruses during vector production, mobilisation of the vector by endogenous retroviruses in the genomes of patients, insertional mutagenesis leading to cancer, germline alteration resulting in trans-generational effects and dissemination of new viruses from gene therapy patients. Investigators proposing to conduct this type of research should take due account of the potential risks for interaction of lentiviral gene therapy vectors with other retroviral elements in human subjects, such as Human Immunodeficiency Virus. In addition, strict quality control for replication competent lentiviruses and suitable measurements of lentiviral infectious particle number will be required before these types of viral vector can proceed to the clinic.
