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

Transient genetic manipulation of human neurons without chromosomal integration of the transgene would be valuable but has been challenging due to the quiescent nature of these postmitotic cells. In this study, we developed a set of baculoviral vectors for transient transduction in nondividing neurons derived from human embryonic stem cells (hESCs). Using a baculoviral vector equipped with the woodchuck hepatitis virus posttranscriptional regulatory element (WPRE), we observed a quick onset of transgene expression as early as day 1 after baculoviral transduction and a high efficiency of up to 80%. Strong transgene expression in the cultured human neurons was observed for more than 1 month and the signal was easily detectable even after 3 months. Using two baculoviral vectors carrying different transgenes, we found that co-transduction at a single neuron level was possible. After transplantation into the brain of nude mice, the baculovirus-transduced human neurons were integrated into the mouse brain and maintained transgene expression for at least 4 weeks, portending the usefulness of this technique in assisting neural transplantation. Therefore, by mediating efficient transient gene expression, baculoviral vectors can provide useful tools for both basic gene function studies in human neurons and therapeutic applications of these cells.
