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

Herpesvirus saimiri (HVS) is capable of infecting a range of human cell types with high efficiency and the viral genome persists as high copy number, circular, nonintegrated episomes which segregate to progeny upon cell division. This allows the HVS-based vector to stably transduce a dividing cell population and provide sustained transgene expression for an extended period of time both in vitro and in vivo. Here we assess the dissemination of HVS-based vectors in vivo following intravenous and intraperitoneal administration. Bioluminescence imaging of an HVS-based vector expressing luciferase demonstrates that the virus can infect and establish a persistent latent infection in a variety of mouse tissues. Moreover, the long-term in vivo maintenance of the HVS genome as a nonintegrated circular episome provided sustained expression of luciferase over a 10-week period. A particularly high level of transgene expression in the liver and the ability of HVS to infect and persist in hepatic stellate cells suggest that HVS-based vectors may have potential for the treatment of inherited and acquired liver diseases.
