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

backgroundDelivery of genes to various brain regions can be accomplished using serotype 2 of the adeno-associated virus (AAV). Pseudotype AAV2 vectors, composed of the AAV2 genome packaged in the capsid of an alternative serotype, have increased efficiency of viral transduction. Transduction of pseudotype AAV2 vectors depends on cell type, brain region and stage of development. The dorsal raphé nucleus (DRN) and median raphé provides the majority of serotonin to forebrain regions and are implicated in the pathology and treatment of depression and anxiety. Viral vector technology in combination with stereotaxic surgery in mice provides a means to differentiate gene function in the DRN compared to the median raphé nucleus. NEW

methodSince AAV transduction efficiency has not yet been characterized for the DRN, we tested if AAV2 pseudotypes are more efficient than a standard serotype (AAV2/2) in transducing DRN cells in adult male mice on a C57BL/6J background.

resultsAlthough transduction did not differ significantly among vectors by 15 days post-injection, pseudotype AAV2/9 and AAV2/rh.10 vectors achieved significantly greater transduction of the DRN than did AAV2/2 and AAV2/1 vectors by 30 days post-injection. Pseudotypes AAV2/1 and AAV2/5 tended, although not significantly, to transduce DRN cells more efficiently than did AAV2/2. COMPARISON WITH EXISTING

methodsAt the same titer, all pseudotype AAV tested tended to transduce the DRN more efficiently than standard AAV2/2 serotype at 30 days post-injection.

conclusionsOur results support the use of pseudotype AAV2/9 and AAV2/rh.10 for studying gene deletion or overexpression in the DRN.
