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

The Sanfilippo syndrome type B (mucopolysaccharidosis IIIB) is an autosomal recessive disorder due to mutations in the gene encoding NAGLU (alpha-N-acetylglucosaminidase), one of the enzymes required for the degradation of the GAG (glycosaminoglycan) heparan sulphate. No therapy exists for affected patients. We have shown previously the efficacy of lentiviral-NAGLU-mediated gene transfer in correcting in vitro the defect on fibroblasts of patients. In the present study, we tested the therapy in vivo on a knockout mouse model using intravenous injections. Mice (8-10 weeks old) were injected with one of the lentiviral doses through the tail vein and analysed 1 month after treatment. A single injection of lentiviral-NAGLU vector resulted in transgene expression in liver, spleen, lung and heart of treated mice, with the highest level reached in liver and spleen. Expression of 1% normal NAGLU activity in liver resulted in a 77% decrease in the GAG content; more remarkably, an expression of 0.16% normal activity in lung was capable of decreasing the GAG level by 29%. Long-term (6 months) follow up of the gene therapy revealed that the viral genome integration persisted in the target tissues, although the real-time PCR analysis showed a decrease in the vector DNA content with time. Interestingly, the decrease in GAG levels was maintained in liver, spleen, lung and heart of treated mice. These results show the promising potential and the limitations of lentiviral-NAGLU vector to deliver the human NAGLU gene in vivo.
