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

Lentiviral vectors derived from the human immunodeficiency type 1 virus (HIV-1 LV) are among the finest tools available today for the genetic modification of human monocyte-derived dendritic cells (MDDCs). However, this process is largely inefficient because MDDCs show a strong resistance to HIV-1 transduction. Here we describe a step-by-step protocol from the production of LVs to cell transduction that allows the efficient genetic modification of MDDCs. This protocol can be completed in 23 d from the initial phase of LV production to the final analysis of the results of MDDC transduction. The method relies on the simultaneous addition of HIV-1 LVs along with noninfectious virion-like particles carrying Vpx, a nonstructural protein encoded by the simian immunodeficiency virus (Vpx-VLPs). When thus provided in target cells, Vpx exerts a strong positive effect on incoming LVs by counteracting the restriction present in MDDCs; accordingly, 100% of cells can be transduced with low viral inputs. Vpx-VLPs will improve the efficiency of LV-mediated transduction of MDDCs with vectors for both ectopic gene expression and depletion studies.
