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

We earlier reported that, a 16 bp Rep-binding element (RBE) was sufficient for mediating Rep-dependent integration into AAVS1 in vitro. We explored here the potential use of this RBE in site-specific genome integration at the AAVS1 site in vivo using transgenic mice carrying the human AAVS1 locus in their genome. In the presence of a Rep-donor plasmid, an human blood coagulation factor IX (hFIX) expression plasmid (pRBE-CMV-hFIX) containing the 16 bp RBE was delivered to AAVS1 transgenic mice by hydrodynamic injection. Insertion of the transgene into the AAVS1 site of the mouse genome was confirmed by nested PCR at the junction of the plasmid/AAVS1 locus. Sequencing analysis found the site-specific insertion in four of seven animals injected with pRBE-CMV-hFIX but in none of the mice injected with pN2-CMV-hFIX, the control construct without the 16 bp RBE or with pRBE-CMV-hFIX plasmid but without co-expressing Rep. Plasma hFIX levels in pRBE-CMV-hFIX-injected animals were higher and lasted longer than in the pN2-CMV-hFIX control group. The levels of hFIX in pRBE-CMV-hFIX-injected animals were also significantly higher than in the control animals after partial hepatectomy (PH). These results showed that the 16 bp RBE could mediate the delivery of a therapeutic gene into the AAVS1 locus in a Rep-dependent, site-specific manner in vivo, suggesting its potential application in gene therapy.
