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

In September 1999, the perceptions of the use of adenoviral (Ad) vectors for gene therapy were altered when a patient exposed via the hepatic artery to a high dose of adenoviral vector succumbed to the toxicity related to vector administration. Appropriately, concerns were raised about continued use of the Ad vector system and, importantly, there were increased efforts to more fully understand the toxicity. Today it is recognized that there is no ideal vector system, and that while Ad vectors are not suitable for all applications, the significant advantages over other vector systems including efficient transduction of a variety of cell types, both quiescent and dividing, make it optimal for certain applications. These include protocols where high levels of short-term expression are sufficient to provide a therapeutic benefit. Potential target applications include therapeutic angiogenesis, administration into immune-privileged sites such as the CNS, or treatments where the adjuvant effect of adenovirus can be of benefit such as cancer vaccines. Broader applicability of Ad vectors will require resolution of toxicity issues. This review will therefore focus on studies conducted over the last 2 years that have advanced our understanding of the toxicity associated with Ad vectors, studies that have employed methods to reduce toxicity and improvements in Ad vectors themselves that will reduce toxicity by one of several mechanisms. These mechanisms include retargeting vector to the tissue of interest, minimizing or eliminating viral gene expression that is thought to result in loss of transduced cells, or by methods that seek to reduce the vector dose required for therapeutic benefit. An area where there remains significant room for improvement is when readministration of vector is required because transgene expression has decreased to background levels.
