Local gene transfer to calcified tissue cells using prolonged infusion of a lentiviral vector.
Article in Gene therapy, 2006. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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.
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
Gene transfer using viral vectors offers the potential for the sustained expression of proteins in specific target tissues. However, in the case of calcified tissues, in vivo delivery remains problematic because of limited accessibility. The aim of this study was to test the efficiency of lentiviral vectors (LVs) on osteogenic cells in vitro, and determine the feasibility of directly transducing resident bone cells in vivo. LVs encoding for green fluorescent protein (GFP) and ameloblastin (AMBN), a protein associated with mineralization not reported in bone, were generated. The transduction efficiency of the LVs was evaluated using the MC3T3 cell line and primary calvaria-derived osteogenic cells. For in vivo delivery, the LVs were infused using osmotic minipumps through holes created in the bone of the rat hemimandible and tibia. The production of GFP and AMBN in vitro and in vivo was monitored using fluorescence microscopy. Both transgenes were expressed in MC3T3 and primary osteogenic cells. In vivo, GFP was detected at the infusion site and fibroblast-like cells, osteoblasts, osteocytes and osteoclasts expressed AMBN. Our data demonstrate, for the first time, that primary osteogenic cells are efficiently transduced with LVs and that their infusion is advantageous for locally delivering DNA to bone cells.
