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

Sendai virus (SeV) vector-mediated gene delivery of glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) and nerve growth factor (NGF) prevented the delayed neuronal death induced by transient global ischemia in gerbils, even when the vector was administered several hours after ischemia. Intraventricular administration of SeV vector directed high-level expression of the vector-encoded neurotrophic factor genes, which are potent candidates for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases. After occlusion of the bilateral carotid arteries of gerbils, SeV vector carrying GDNF (SeV/GDNF), NGF (SeV/NGF), brain-derived neurotrophic factor (SeV/BDNF), insulin-like growth factor-1 (SeV/IGF-1) or vascular endothelial growth factor (SeV/VEGF) was injected into the lateral ventricle. Administration of SeV/GDNF, SeV/NGF or SeV/BDNF 30 min after the ischemic insult effectively prevented the delayed neuronal death of the hippocampal CA1 pyramidal neurons. Furthermore, the administration of SeV/GDNF or SeV/NGF as late as 4 or 6 h after the ischemic insult also prevented the death of these neurons. These results indicate that SeV vector-mediated gene transfer of neurotrophic factors has high therapeutic potency for preventing the delayed neuronal death induced by transient global ischemia, and provides an approach for gene therapy of stroke.
