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

In vivo gene transfer with adenovirus vectors would significantly benefit from a tight control of the adenovirus-inherent liver tropism. For efficient hepatocyte transduction, adenovirus vectors need to evade from Kupffer cell scavenging while delivery to peripheral tissues or tumors could be improved if both scavenging by Kupffer cells and uptake by hepatocytes were blocked. Here, we provide evidence that a single point mutation in the hexon capsomere designed to enable defined chemical capsid modifications may permit both detargeting from and targeting to hepatocytes with evasion from Kupffer cell scavenging. Vector particles modified with small polyethylene glycol (PEG) moieties specifically on hexon exhibited decreased transduction of hepatocytes by shielding from blood coagulation factor binding. Vector particles modified with transferrin or, surprisingly, 5,000 Da PEG or dextran increased hepatocyte transduction up to 18-fold independent of the presence of Kupffer cells. We further show that our strategy can be used to target high-capacity adenovirus vectors to hepatocytes emphasizing the potential for therapeutic liver-directed gene transfer. Our approach may lead to a detailed understanding of the interactions between adenovirus vectors and Kupffer cells, one of the most important barriers for adenovirus-mediated gene delivery.
