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

Adenovirus has enormous potential as a gene-therapy vector, but preexisting immunity limits its widespread application. What is responsible for this immune block is unclear because antibodies potently inhibit transgene expression without impeding gene transfer into target cells. Here we show that antibody prevention of adenoviral gene delivery in vivo is mediated by the cytosolic antibody receptor TRIM21. Genetic KO of TRIM21 or a single-antibody point mutation is sufficient to restore transgene expression to near-naïve immune levels. TRIM21 is also responsible for blocking cytotoxic T cell induction by vaccine vectors, preventing a protective response against subsequent influenza infection and an engrafted tumor. Furthermore, adenoviral preexisting immunity can lead to an augmented immune response upon i.v. administration of the vector. Transcriptomic analysis of vector-transduced tissue reveals that TRIM21 is responsible for the specific up-regulation of hundreds of immune genes, the majority of which are components of the intrinsic or innate response. Together, these data define a major mechanism underlying the preimmune block to adenovirus gene therapy and demonstrate that TRIM21 efficiently blocks gene delivery in vivo while simultaneously inducing a rapid program of immune transcription.
