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 vectors encoding two or more genes are potentially powerful research tools and are poised to play an increasingly important role in gene therapy applications. Common strategies employed to express more than one transgene per vector include the use of multiple promoters, internal ribosome entry site (IRES) elements, splicing signals and fusion proteins. Of these, the IRES elements and multiple promoters have been most widely used. The use of multiple promoters, however, may be compromised by interference between promoters, promoter silencing and vector rearrangements or deletions. In this study, we demonstrate promoter interference between two internal heterologous promoters in the context of a late-generation lentiviral vector. The interference, involving the human cytomegalovirus-immediate-early promoter and human elongation-factor-1alpha promoter, occurred bidirectionally with both promoters markedly impairing expression of the adjacent transcription unit. The data presented not only highlight the potential for interference between these widely-used promoters, but also the value of a sequential approach to vector construction that allows such effects to be recognized.
