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.

Abstract

Gene therapy has proven to be of potential value for the correction of inherited hematopoietic disorders. However, the occurrence of severe side effects in some of the clinical trials has questioned the safety of this approach and has hampered the use of long terminal repeat-driven vectors for the treatment of a large number of patients. The development of self-inactivating (SIN) vectors with reduced genotoxicity provides an alternative to the currently used vectors. Our initial attempts to use SIN vectors for the correction of a myeloid disorder, chronic granulomatous disease, failed due to low vector titers and poor transgene expression. The optimization of the transgene cDNA (gp91(phox)) resulted in substantially increased titers and transgene expression. Most notably, transgene optimization significantly improved expression of a second cistron located downstream of gp91(phox). Thus, optimization of the transgene sequence results in higher expression levels and increased therapeutic index allowing the use of low vector copy numbers per transduced cell and weaker internal promoters.
