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

HIV-derived lentiviral vectors are efficient vehicula to deliver genes into the brain and hold great promise for future gene therapy of neurodegenerative disorders. However, administration of the current vector preparations in mouse brain was found to induce a systemic immune response to vector proteins and a modest inflammation in the brain. Moreover, serum antibodies from vector-treated animals were capable of partially neutralizing lentiviral vector-mediated transduction in cell culture. To avoid this unexpected immune reaction, we have optimized new vector production and purification protocols. Purification by sucrose gradient ultracentrifugation abolished the immune response, but vector titers also decreased substantially. Lentiviral vector production in the absence of serum in the cell culture medium equally reduced immunogenicity without affecting transduction efficiency. These results have important implications for future clinical use of lentiviral vectors, and for the use of lentiviral vectors to create animal models for neurodegenerative diseases that have an important neuroinflammatory component.
