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

Gene transfer to central nervous system (CNS) has been approached using various vectors. Recombinant SV40-derived vectors (rSV40s) transduce human neurons and microglia effectively in vitro and in rodent brains in vivo, so we tested rSV40s gene transfer to rhesus monkey CNS in vivo, to characterize the distribution, duration and safety of such gene delivery. We used rSV40s carrying HIV-1 RevM10 with a carboxyl-terminal AU1 epitope tag as a marker, and others with the antioxidant enzymes, Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxidase. Vectors were injected stereotaxically into the caudate nucleus. Transgene expression was studied at 1 and 6 months by immunostaining serial brain sections. After intraparenchymal administration, numerous transgene-expressing cells were seen, with a longitudinal extent of 20 mm. In neurons and, more rarely, microglial cells, transgene expression remained strong throughout the 6-month study period. Astrocytes and oligodendroglia were not transduced. No evidence of inflammation or tissue damage was observed. SV40-derived vectors may thus be useful for long-term gene expression in the monkey brain and, potentially, in the human brain.
