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

Gene transfer to the central nervous system (CNS) has been approached using various vectors. Recombinant SV40-derived vectors (rSV40s) transduce neurons and microglia effectively in vitro, so we tested rSV40s gene transfer to the CNS in vivo, and characterized the distribution, duration and cell types transduced. We used rSV40s carrying Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 Net protein (HIV-1 Nef) with a C-terminal FLAG epitope tag as a marker, and another with Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase (SOD1). Rats were given vectors stereotaxically, either intraparenchymally into the caudate-putamen (CP) or into the lateral ventricle (LV). FLAG expression was studied for 3 months by immunostaining serial brain sections. After intraparenchymal administration, numerous transgene-expressing cells were seen, many as far as 4 mm from the injection site. Transgene expression remained strong throughout the 3-month study period. Coimmunostaining for lineage markers showed that neurons and, more rarely, microglial cells were tranduced, except astrocytes and oligodendroglia. After injection into the LV, high levels of transgene expression were detected throughout the frontal cortex by Western analysis. Systemic mannitol-induced hyperosmolarity further augmented LV transgene delivery. SV40-derived vectors may, thus, be useful for long-term gene expression in the brain, whether locally by intraparenchymal administration or diffusely by intraventricular injection, with or without mannitol.
