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

Persistent infection with adeno-associated virus (AAV) has been demonstrated in human tissues, most frequently in the female and male genital tract. The clinical significance of latent AAV infection remains, however, uncertain to date. The mode of latency of AAV is not known, i.e., it is unclear whether the viral genome is integrated in the cellular genome, and if integration occurs site-specifically in chromosome 19 as has been observed in cell culture. Therefore we investigated if viral DNA in AAV DNA-positive human testis samples from two patients, is integrated in the cellular genome. Using two different molecular approaches, uni-directional PCR and Walking Primer PCR, we could demonstrate that AAV DNA is present in an integrated form in testis tissue. Virus-cell DNA junction fragments were cloned and sequenced. A detailed analysis revealed integration within sequences of the so-called AAVS1 region on chromosome 19. These data demonstrate that AAV DNA can integrate also after natural infection, and that integration occurs within the AAVS1 region, at least in some cases.
