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

RNA interference (RNAi) is a sequence-specific gene silencing mechanism with therapeutic potential against many human pathogens. To obtain a durable therapeutic effect, stable transduction of target cells with for instance a lentiviral vector that expresses a short hairpin (shRNA) inducer of the RNAi pathway is necessary. Apart from the intended therapeutic effect, this treatment can induce negative effects on cell proliferation via off-target effects. A careful evaluation of the transduced cells is required to develop a safe gene therapy approach. Stably transduced cells are usually selected by expression of the enhanced green fluorescent protein (GFP) marker. In this study we show that the mixed transduction culture, containing both transduced GFP(+) and untransduced GFP(-) cells, can simply be passaged to score the GFP(+)/GFP(-) ratio by longitudinal flow cytometric analysis as a measure of the negative impact of the RNAi treatment on the cellular proliferation rate. We show that this assay is sensitive, easy to use and internally controlled for assessing subtle effects on cell proliferation of lentiviral transduction and transgene expression.
