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

Hepatic adeno-associated virus serotype 2 (AAV2)-mediated gene transfer failed to achieve sustained transgene product expression in human subjects. We formulated the hypothesis that rejection of AAV-transduced hepatocytes is caused by AAV capsid-specific CD8(+) T cells that become reactivated upon gene transfer. Although this hypothesis was compatible with clinical data, which showed a rise in circulating AAV capsid-specific T cells following injection of AAV vectors, it did not explain that AAV vectors achieved long-term transgene expression in rhesus macaques, which are naturally infected with AAV serotypes closely related to those of humans. To address this apparent contradiction, we tested human and rhesus macaque samples for AAV capsid-specific T cells by intracellular cytokine staining combined with staining for T-cell subset and differentiation markers. This highly sensitive method, which could provide a tool to monitor adverse T-cell responses in gene transfer trials, showed that AAV capsid-specific CD8(+) and CD4(+) T cells can be detected in blood of naturally infected humans and rhesus macaques. They are present at higher frequencies in rhesus macaques. Furthermore, T cells from humans and rhesus macaques exhibit striking differences in their differentiation status and in their functions, which may explain the disparate duration of AAV-mediated gene transfer in these two species.
