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

Recently, development of Adeno-associated virus (AAV) vectors has been focusing on expanding the genetic diversity of vectors from existing sequences via directed evolution or epitope remapping. Apart from intelligent design, AAV isolation from natural sources remains an important source of new AAVs with unique biological features. In this study, several new AAV sequences were isolated from porcine tissues (AAVpo2.1, -po4, -po5, and -po6), which aligned in divergent new clades. Viral particles generated from these sequences displayed tissue tropism and transduction efficiency profile specific to each porcine-derived AAV. When delivered systemically, AAVpo2.1 targeted the heart, kidney, and muscle, AAVpo5 performed poorly but was able to transduce muscle fibers when injected intramuscularly, whereas AAVpo4 and -po6 efficiently transduced all the major organs sampled, contending with 'gold-standard' AAVs. When delivered systemically, AAVpo4 and -po6 were detected by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and histochemical staining of the transgene product in adult mouse brain, suggesting that these vectors can pass through the blood-brain barrier with efficiencies that may be useful for the development of therapeutic approaches. Porcine tissues are antigenically similar to human tissues and by inference, porcine AAVs may provide fresh tools to contribute to the development of gene therapy-based solutions to human diseases.
