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

Several gene therapy applications require the transfer and simultaneous expression of multiple genes in the same cell. In this study, we analyzed the potential for coordinated expression of an endogenous bidirectional promoter located on chromosome X, which controls the expression of the heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein H2 (HNRNPH2) and alpha-galactosidase (GLA) genes. The promoter was cloned in both transcriptional orientations in a foamy virus (FV) vector backbone, whereas the enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) and low-affinity nerve growth factor receptor (DeltaLNGFR) reporter genes were cloned in the 5'-3' and 3'-5' transcriptional orientations, respectively. In all the cell lines tested, both vectors showed high levels of transgene coexpression that reached 76% of total positive cells (range from 76 to 18%). Comparison of EGFP and DeltaNGFR levels revealed that the side of the promoter that drives the expression of the HNRNPH2 gene in the genome was stronger and in accordance to its in situ activity. When tested with CD34(+) cells, transgene coexpression reached 35.3% of all positive cells in progenitor assays and 16.8% of all positive cells after transplantation in NOD/severe combined immunodeficient mice. In summary, we show that the endogenous promoter used in this study holds bidirectional activity in the context of FV vectors and can be used in gene therapy applications requiring synchronized expression of two genes.
