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

Adeno-associated virus (AAV) is widely favored as a gene therapy vector, tested in over 200 clinical trials internationally. To improve targeted delivery a variety of genetic capsid modifications, such as insertion of targeting proteins/peptides into the capsid shell, have been explored with some success but larger insertions often have unpredictable deleterious impacts on capsid formation and gene delivery. Here, we demonstrate a modular platform for the integration of exogenous peptides and proteins onto the AAV capsid post-translationally while preserving vector functionality. We decorated the AAV capsid with leucine-zipper coiled-coil binding motifs that exhibit specific noncovalent heterodimerization. AAV capsids successfully display hexahistidine tagged-peptides using this approach, as demonstrated through nickel column affinity. This protein display platform may facilitate the incorporation of biological moieties on the AAV surface, expanding possibilities for vector enhancement and engineering.
