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

Hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) gene therapy can potentially cure a variety of human hematopoietic diseases, such as sickle cell disease. Selection and expansion of gene-corrected HSCs has now been accomplished for the first time using HSC from large animals - dogs and humans - with a novel drug-resistance gene, MGMT, which is not expressed in normal HSCs (see the related articles beginning on pages 1561 and 1581). Highly efficient lentiviral transfer and expression of MGMT into relatively few HSCs led to repopulation of most of the hematopoietic compartment with gene-corrected cells following suitable drug treatment. This selection system may be useful in human clinical trials to permit gene therapy in autologous and allogeneic bone marrow transplantation settings.
