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

There are conflicting reports that integration of the wild-type adeno-associated virus 2 (AAV2) genome is associated with induction of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in a small subset of patients. However, there are several lines of evidence that contradict this assertion: (i) AAV2 has long been known to be a non-pathogenic virus, although ∼90% of the human population is seropositive for AAV2 antibodies; (ii) AAV2 has been shown to possess anticancer activity; (iii) epidemiological evidence suggests that AAV2 infection plays a protective role against cervical carcinoma; and (iv) five different AAV serotype vectors (AAV1, AAV2, AAV5, AAV8, and AAV9) have been or are currently being used in 162 Phase I/II clinical trials and one Phase III clinical trial in humans to date, and no cancer of any type has ever been observed or reported. A brief historical account of the putative role of infection by AAV in the etiology of cancer, or lack thereof, is presented.
