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

Research has shown that the use of a muscle-specific promoter can reduce immune response and improve gene transfer to muscle fibers. We investigated the efficiency of direct and ex vivo gene transfer to the skeletal muscles of 6- to 8-week-old mdx mice by using two adenoviral vectors: adenovirus (AD) encoding the luciferase gene under the cytomegalovirus (CMV) promoter (ADCMV) and AD encoding the same gene under the muscle creatine kinase (MCK) promoter (ADMCK). Direct intramuscular injection of ADMCK triggered a lower immune response that enabled more efficient delivery and more persistent expression of the transgene than did ADCMV injection. Similarly, ex vivo gene transfer using ADCMV-transduced muscle-derived stem cells (MDSCs) induced a stronger immune response and led to shorter transgene expression than did ex vivo gene transfer using ADMCK-transduced MDSCs. This immune response was due to the release of the antigen after MDSC death or to the ADCMV-transduced MDSCs acting as antigen-presenting cells (APCs) by expressing the transgene and rapidly initiating an immune response against subsequent viral inoculation. The use of a muscle-specific promoter that restricts transgene expression to differentiated muscle cells could prevent MDSCs from becoming APCs, and thereby could improve the efficiency of ex vivo gene transfer to skeletal muscle.
