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

aimIn this paper we compare the transduction efficiency, toxicity, and safety of retroviral vectors [equine infectious anemia virus (EIAV), human immunodeficiency virus-1 (HIV-1), human foamy virus (PFV] and adenovirus (Ad) for potential use in gene therapy of corneal endothelial cells.

methodMurine corneal endothelial cells were transduced with EIAV, HIV-1, PFV, and Ad, resulting in the overexpression of a green fluorescent protein (eGFP) transgene marker. The transduction efficiency was assessed by flow cytometry, while cytotoxicity and apoptosis rate were detected by annexin V/propidium iodide (PI) stain.

resultsAd had the highest transduction efficiency with 99% of the cells expressing the transgene, followed by EIAV (95%), HIV-1 (75%), and PFV (43%). However, the high transduction efficiency of Ad also resulted in the highest apoptosis rate (25%) in the corneal endothelial cells. There was no detectable difference in the toxicity between PFV and HIV-1 (10%). EIAV transduction had the lowest cytotoxicity, with only 3% of the cells being annexin V/PI positive.

conclusionCompared to other vectors EIAV exhibited high transduction efficiency combined with low toxicity to corneal endothelial cells. Therefore, it is a powerful tool for gene therapy applications in selected corneal endothelial diseases.
