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

backgroundBernard-Soulier syndrome (BSS) is an inherited bleeding disorder characterized by macrothrombocytopenia. Platelet transfusion is used for the management of bleeding, but repeated transfusion often results in alloimmunization. We have recently shown phenotypic correction of murine BSS (GPIbα(null) ) using lethal radiation conditioning followed by hematopoietic lentivirus-mediated gene transfer.

objectivesFor application of gene therapy to treatment of human patients, it is important to minimize treatment-related side effects. The objective of this study is to model a clinically relevant non-myeloablative hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) transplantation strategy.

methodsUsing transplantation of bone marrow (BM) HSCs from transgenic mice that express hGPIbα (hGPIbα(tg+/+) ), we sought to (i) determine the percentage of hGPIbα(tg+/+) HSCs required for therapeutic benefit, (ii) evaluate the efficacy of non-myeloablative conditioning using busulfan, and (iii) test the ability of anti-thymocyte globulin (ATG) to prevent/reduce undesirable immune responses.

resultsTransplantation of 10-20% hGPIbα(tg+/+) BM HSCs mixed with GPIbα(null) BM HSCs into irradiated GPIbα(null) mice was sufficient to correct bleeding time (n = 5). Transplantation of hGPIbα(tg+/+) BM HSCs into busulfan-conditioned GPIbα(null) mice corrected bleeding time in 21 of 27 recipients. Antibody response to hGPIbα and immune-mediated thrombocytopenia was documented in eight of 27 recipients, suggesting immunogenicity of hGPIbα in busulfan-conditioned GPIbα(null) mice. However, these antibodies disappeared without treatment within 30 weeks after transplantation. A combination of busulfan plus ATG conditioning successfully prevented antibody development and significantly increased therapeutic engraftment.

conclusionA conditioning regimen of busulfan in combination with ATG could potentially be used in non-myeloablative autologous gene therapy in human BSS.
