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

Recombinant adeno-associated virus (rAAV) holds promise as a gene therapy vector for a multitude of genetic disorders such as hemophilia, cystic fibrosis, and the muscular dystrophies. Given the variety of applications and tissue types toward which these vectors may be targeted, an understanding of rAAV transduction is crucial for the effective application of therapy. rAAV transduction mechanisms have been the subject of much study, resulting in a body of knowledge relating to events from virus-cell attachment through to vector genome conformation in the target cell nucleus. Instead of utilizing one mechanism in each phase of vector transduction, rAAV appears to employ multiple possible pathways toward transgene expression, in part dependent on rAAV serotype, dose, and target cell type. Once inside the nucleus, the rAAV genome exists in a predominantly episomal form; therefore, nondividing cells tend to be most stably transduced. However, rAAV has a low frequency of integration into the host cell genome, often in or near genes, and can be associated with host genome mutations. This review describes the current understanding of the mechanisms and rate-limiting steps involved in rAAV transduction.
