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

Three RNA features have been identified that elevate retroviral transgene expression: an intron in the 5' untranslated region (5'UTR), the absence of aberrant translational start codons and the presence of the post-transcriptional regulatory element (PRE) of the woodchuck hepatitis virus in the 3'UTR. To include such elements into self-inactivating (SIN) vectors with potentially improved safety, we excised the strong retroviral promoter from the U3 region of the 3' long terminal repeat (LTR) and inserted it either downstream or upstream of the retroviral RNA packaging signal (Psi). The latter concept is new and allows the use of an intron in the 5'UTR, taking advantage of retroviral splice sites surrounding Psi. Three LTR and four SIN vectors were compared to address the impact of RNA elements on titer, splice regulation and transgene expression. Although titers of SIN vectors were about 20-fold lower than those of their LTR counterparts, inclusion of the PRE allowed production of more than 10(6) infectious units per ml without further vector optimizations. In comparison with state-of-the-art LTR vectors, the intron-containing SIN vectors showed greatly improved splicing. With regard to transgene expression, the intron-containing SIN vectors largely matched or even exceeded the LTR counterparts in all cell types investigated (embryonic carcinoma cells, fibroblasts, primary T cells and hematopoietic progenitor cells).
