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

Safely achieving long-term engraftment of genetically modified hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) that maintain therapeutic transgene expression is the benchmark for successful application of gene therapy for hemoglobinopathies. We used the pigtailed macaque HSC transplantation model to ascertain the long-term safety and stability of a γ-globin lentivirus vector. We observed stable gene-modified cells and fetal hemoglobin expression for 3 years. Retrovirus integration site (RIS) analysis spanning 6 months to 3.1 years revealed vastly disparate integration profiles, and dynamic fluctuation of hematopoietic contribution from different gene-modified HSC clones without evidence for clonal dominance. There were no perturbations of the global gene-expression profile or expression of genes within a 300 kb region of RIS, including genes surrounding the most abundantly marked clones. Overall, a 3-year long follow-up revealed no evidence of genotoxicity of the γ-globin lentivirus vector with multilineage polyclonal hematopoiesis, and HSC clonal fluctuations that were not associated with transcriptome dysregulation.
