Transient cytochalasin-D treatment induces apically administered rAAV2 across tight junctions for transduction of enterocytes.
Article in The Journal of general virology, 2008. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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.
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
Enteropathogens are known to disrupt apical actin filaments and/or tight-junction barriers of intestinal epithelial cells to promote infection. In this study, we show that a controlled, cytochalasin-D (Cyto-D)-mediated disruption of actin filaments and tight junctions enhanced the apical delivery of the gene-therapy vector recombinant adeno-associated virus serotype 2 (rAAV2). This increase in transduction efficiency can be attributed to the enhanced delivery of rAAV2 across the Cyto-D disrupted tight junctions, allowing basolateral entry of rAAV2. Previously, we have shown that MG101 and doxorubicin are capable of overcoming proteasome-mediated transduction barriers of rAAV2 in enterocytes. In this study, when Cyto-D was combined with MG101 and doxorubicin in apical delivery of rAAV2 to transduce the differentiated Caco-2 enterocytes, a synergistic >2300-fold increase in transgene expression was achieved. We conclude that Cyto-D is capable of permeating the polarized enterocytes for rAAV2 transduction, which may potentially be a useful device to facilitate intestinal gene transfer via the gut lumen.
