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

Methylmalonic acidemia is a severe metabolic disorder caused by a deficiency of the ubiquitously expressed mitochondrial enzyme, methylmalonyl-CoA mutase (MUT). Liver transplantation has been used to treat a small number of patients with variable success, and whether liver-directed gene therapy might be employed in such a pleiotropic metabolic disorder is uncertain. In this study, we examined the therapeutic effects of hepatocyte-directed delivery of the Mut gene to mice with a severe form of methylmalonic acidemia. We show that a single intrahepatic injection of recombinant adeno-associated virus serotype 8 expressing the Mut gene under the control of the liver-specific thyroxine-binding globulin (TBG) promoter is sufficient to rescue Mut(-/-) mice from neonatal lethality and provide long-term phenotypic correction. Treated Mut(-/-) mice lived beyond 1 year of age, had improved growth, lower plasma methylmalonic acid levels, and an increased capacity to oxidize [1-(13)C]propionate in vivo. The older treated mice showed increased Mut transcription, presumably mediated by upregulation of the TBG promoter during senescence. The results indicate that the stable transduction of a small number of hepatocytes with the Mut gene can be efficacious in the phenotypic correction of an inborn error of organic acid metabolism and support the rapid translation of liver-directed gene therapy vectors already optimized for human subjects to patients with methylmalonic acidemia.
