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

Adeno-associated virus (AAV) is a unique gene transfer vector which takes approximately 4 to 6 weeks to reach its expression plateau. The mechanism for this slow-rise expression profile was proposed to be inefficient second-strand DNA synthesis from the input single-stranded (ss) DNA viral genome. In order to clarify the status of ss AAV genomes, we generated AAV vectors labeled with bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU), a nucleotide analog that can be incorporated into the AAV genome and packaged into infectious virions. Since BrdU-DNA can be detected only by an anti-BrdU antibody when DNA is in an ss form, not in a double-stranded (ds) form, ss AAV genomes with BrdU can be readily tracked in situ. Although ss AAV DNA was abundant by Southern blot analysis, free ss AAV genomes were not detectable after AAV transduction by this new detection method. Further Southern blot analysis of viral DNA and virions revealed that ss AAV DNA was protected within virions. Extracted cellular fractions demonstrated that viral particles in host cells remained infectious. In addition, a significant amount of AAV genomes was degraded after AAV transduction. Therefore, we conclude that the amount of free ss DNA is not abundant during AAV transduction. AAV transduction is limited by the steps that affect AAV ss DNA release (i.e., uncoating) before second-strand DNA synthesis can occur. AAV ss DNA released from viral uncoating is either converted into ds DNA efficiently or degraded by cellular DNA repair mechanisms as damaged DNA. This study elucidates a mechanism that can be exploited to develop new strategies to improve AAV vector transduction efficiency.
