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

introductionSince the cystic fibrosis (CF) gene was discovered in 1989, researchers have worked to develop a gene therapy. One of the most promising and enduring vectors is the AAV, which has been shown to be safe. In particular, several clinical trials have been conducted with AAV serotype 2. All of them detected viral genomes, but identification of mRNA transduction was not consistent; clinical outcomes in Phase II studies were also inconsistent. The lack of a positive outcome has been attributed to a less-than-efficient viral infection by AAV2, a weak transgene promoter and the host immune response to the vector. Areas covered: Herein, the authors focus on AAV gene therapy for CF, evaluating past experience with this approach and identifying ways forward, based on the progress that has already been made in identifying and overcoming the limitations of AAV gene therapy. Expert opinion: Such progress makes it clear that this is an opportune time to push forward toward the development of a gene therapy for CF. Drugs to treat the basic defect in CF represent a remarkable advance but cannot treat a significant cohort of patients with rare mutations. Thus, there is a critical need to develop a gene therapy for those individuals.
