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 expression of therapeutic genes is required for long-term gene therapy applications for many disorders. Here we describe a doxycycline (dox)-regulated lentiviral vector system consisting of two HIV-1-based self-inactivating viruses. One of the vectors is constitutively expressing a novel improved version of the tetracycline reverse transactivator rtTA2(S)-M2 and the other has a rtTA responsive promoter driving the expression of beta-galactosidase gene (lacZ). The rtTA2(S)-M2 has highly improved properties with respect to specificity, stability and inducibility. Functionality of the system by dox was confirmed after in vitro cotransduction of Chinese hamster ovary and human endothelial hybridoma (EAhy926) cells. Regulation of the system showed tight control of the gene expression. Dose dependence for dox was seen with concentrations that can be obtained in vivo with doses normally used in clinical practice. LacZ expression could be switched on/off during long-term (3 months) culturing of cotransduced cells. The system was next tested in vivo after cotransduction into rat brain and studying expression of the lacZ gene in dox-treated and control rats. Nested RT-PCR confirmed that the tight control of the gene expression was achieved in vivo. Also, X-gal staining showed positive cells in the dox-treated rats, but not in the controls 10 days after cotransduction with 4 days preceding treatment with dox. It is concluded that our doxycycline-regulated vector system shows significant potential for long-term gene therapy treatments.
