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

Recent advances in recombinant adeno-associated virus (rAAV) gene therapy for choroideremia show gene replacement to be a promising approach. It is, however, well known that contact of vector solution with plastic materials in the surgical device may result in non-specific adsorption with resulting loss of physical titer and/or level of protein expression and activity. Here we assessed the biocompatibility and stability of rAAV2-REP1 (Rab Escort Protein-1) before and following passage through the injection device over a period of time to mimic the clinical scenario. Three identical devices were screened using two concentrations of vector: high (1E+12 DNase-resistant particles [DRP]/mL) and low (1E+11 DRP/mL), to mimic high- and low-dose administrations of vector product. The low dose was prepared using either formulation buffer that contained 0.001% of a non-ionic surfactant (PF68) or balanced salt solution (BSS). We observed significant losses in the genomic titer of samples diluted with BSS for all time points. The addition of 0.001% PF68 did not, however, affect rAAV physical titer, or REP1 protein expression and biological activity. Hence we observed that neither the genomic titer nor the biological activity of a rAAV2-REP1-containing solution was affected following passage through the surgical device when PF68 was present as a surfactant and this was maintained over a period up to 10 h.
