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

Porcine endogenous retroviruses (PERV) are a major concern when porcine tissues and organs are used for xenotransplantation. PERV has been shown to infect human cells in vitro, highlighting a potential zoonotic risk. No pathology is associated with PERV in its natural host, but the pathogenic potential might differ in the case of cross-species transmission and can only be inferred from knowledge of related gammaretroviruses. We therefore investigated the integration features of the PERV DNA in the human genome in vitro in order to further characterize the risk associated with PERV transmission. In this study, we characterized 189 PERV integration site sequences from human HEK-293 cells. Data showed that PERV integration was strongly enhanced at transcriptional start sites and CpG islands and that the frequencies of integration events increased with the expression levels of the genes, except for the genes with the highest levels of expression, which were disfavored for integration. Finally, we extracted genomic sequences directly flanking the integration sites and found an original 8-base statistical palindromic consensus sequence [TG(int)GTACCAGC]. All these results show similarities between PERV and murine leukemia virus integration site selection, suggesting that gammaretroviruses have a common pattern of integration and that the mechanisms of target site selection within a retrovirus genus might be similar.
