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

Pseudotyping of viral vectors has been widely used to enhance viral transduction efficiency. One of the most popular pseudotyping proteins has been the G-protein of the vesicular stomatitis virus, VSV-G. In the present study, we show that the 21-amino-acid ectodomain with transmembrane and cytoplasmic tail domains of VSV-G (VSV-GED) augments baculovirus-mediated gene delivery in vertebrate cells by aiding viral entry. The VSV-GED pseudotyped virus replicated efficiently in insect cells yielding high titers. Five out of six studied cell lines showed improved transduction, as measured by a number of transduced cells or transgene expression level. Nearly 15-fold increase in the transduction efficiency was detected in rat malignant glioma cells as compared to the control virus. In the rat brain, transgene expression could be detected in the walls of lateral ventricles and in subarachnoid membranes. Increased transduction efficiency was also observed in the rabbit muscle. Our results suggest that VSV-GED enhances baculoviral gene transfer by augmenting gp64-mediated endosomal release. Moreover, no cytotoxicity was associated with improved gene transfer efficiency. Thus, VSV-GED pseudotyping provides a simple means to enhance baculovirus-mediated gene transfer in vitro and in vivo.
