AAV8 Can Induce Innate and Adaptive Immune Response in the Primate Eye.
Article in Molecular therapy : the journal of the American Society of Gene Therapy, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 103 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Ocular gene therapy has evolved rapidly into the clinical realm due to promising pre-clinical proof-of-concept studies, recognition of the high unmet medical need of blinding disorders, and the excellent safety profile of the most commonly used vector system, the adeno-associated virus (AAV). With several trials exposing subjects to AAV, investigators independently report about cases with clinically evident inflammation in treated eyes despite the concept of ocular immune privilege. Here, we provide a detailed analysis of innate and adaptive immune response to clinical-grade AAV8 in non-human primates and compare this to preliminary clinical data from a retinal gene therapy trial for CNGA3-based achromatopsia (ClinicalTrials.gov: 02610582).
