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

Regulated gene delivery systems are usually made of two elements: an inducible promoter and a transactivator. In order to optimize gene delivery and regulation, a single viral vector ensuring adequate stoichiometry of the two elements is required. However, efficient regulation is hampered by interferences between the inducible promoter and (i) the promoter used to express the transactivator and/or (ii) promoter/enhancer elements present in the viral vector backbone. We describe a single AAV vector in which transcription of both the reverse tetracycline transactivator (rtTA) and the transgene is initiated from a bidirectional tetracycline-responsive promoter and terminated at bidirectional SV40 polyadenylation sites flanking both ITRs. Up to 50-fold induction of gene expression in human tumor cell lines and 100-fold in primary cultures of rat Schwann cells was demonstrated. In addition an 80-fold induction in vivo in the rat brain has been obtained. In vitro, the autoregulatory vector exhibits an induced expression level superior to that obtained using the constitutive CMV promoter. Although extinction of the transgene after removal of tetracycline was rapid (less than 3 days), inducibility after addition of tetracycline was slow (about 14 days). This kinetics is suitable for therapeutic gene expression in slowly progressive diseases while allowing rapid switch-off in case of undesirable effects. As compared to previously described autoregulatory tet-repressible (tetOFF) AAV vectors, the tet-inducible (tetON) vector prevents chronic antibiotic administration in the uninduced state.
