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

The direct intraparenchymal administration of oncolytic viral vectors by convection-enhanced delivery (CED) represents a promising new treatment strategy for malignant gliomas. However, there is no evidence to suggest that oncolytic viruses as large as herpes simplex virus-1 (HSV-1) can be administered by CED, as this has not been systematically examined in an animal model. In this study, the administration of a herpes simplex viral vector, HSV1, has been evaluated in detail in the gray and white matter of both rat and pig models, using high flow-rate infusions, co-infusing heparin or preinfusing the tissue with an isotonic albumin solution. Rat HSV-1 infusions at both slow (0.5 μl min(-1)) and high infusion rates (2.5 μl min(-1)) led to extensive tissue damage and negligible cell transduction. Co-infusion with heparin led to extensive hemorrhage. Preinfusion of tissue with an isotonic albumin solution facilitated widespread vector distribution and cell transduction in white matter only. Using this approach in pig brain led to widespread vector distribution with extensive transduction of astrocytes and activated microglia. In rat brain, enhanced green fluorescent protein expression peaked 48 h after vector administration and was associated with a vigorous immune response. These findings indicate that direct infusions of HSV-1-based viral vectors into the brain lead to minimal vector distribution, negligible cell transduction and extensive damage. Tissue preinfusion with an isotonic solution prior to vector administration represents an effective technique for achieving widespread HSV-1 distribution.
