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

Lentiviral vector (LV)-mediated gene therapy bears an intrinsic risk of insertional mutagenesis following integration into the host genome. Nonintegrative LVs may offer an alternative avenue at least in nondividing cells where episomal viral DNA persists stably. Owing to their central role in immune system functions, differentiated dendritic cells (DCs) offer an interesting cell target for these vectors. We have previously described that the transduction of DCs with wild-type HIV-1-derived vectors can be considerably improved by providing DCs with noninfectious virion-like particles (VLPs) carrying Vpx (Vpx-VLPs), a nonstructural protein coded by members of the SIV(SM)/HIV-2 lineage that removes a specific restriction to lentiviral infection in these cells. Here, we describe that the transduction efficiency of DCs with nonintegrative HIV-1 vectors can also be improved via Vpx-VLPs that promote the accumulation of complete and episomal viral DNA. In this setting, Vpx increases both the number of transduced cells and the levels of transgene expression. Thus, these results describe a simple procedure by which transduction of differentiated DCs can be achieved at low viral inputs with safer LVs to improve both the number of transduced cells and the levels of transgene expression.
