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

Virus families have evolved different strategies for genome uncoating, which are also followed by recombinant vectors. Vectors derived from adeno-associated viruses (AAV) are considered as leading delivery tools for in vivo gene transfer, and in particular gene therapy. Using a combination of atomic force microscopy (AFM), biochemical experiments, and physical modeling, we investigated here the physical properties and stability of AAV vector particles. We first compared the morphological properties of AAV vectors derived from two different serotypes (AAV8 and AAV9). Furthermore, we triggered ssDNA uncoating by incubating vector particles to increasing controlled temperatures. Our analyses, performed at the single-particle level, indicate that genome release can occur in vitro via two alternative pathways: either the capsid remains intact and ejects linearly the ssDNA molecule, or the capsid is ruptured, leaving ssDNA in a compact entangled conformation. The analysis of the length distributions of ejected genomes further revealed a two-step ejection behavior. We propose a kinetic model aimed at quantitatively describing the evolution of capsids and genomes along the different pathways, as a function of time and temperature. This model allows quantifying the relative stability of AAV8 and AAV9 particles.
