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

Spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs) serve as a resource for producing genetically modified animals. However, genetic manipulation of SSCs has met with limited success. Here, we show efficient gene transfer into SSCs via a lentivirus (FV-LV) using a fusion protein (F), a Sendai virus (SV) envelope protein involved in virion/cell membrane fusion. FV-LVs transduced cultured SSCs more efficiently than conventional LVs. Although SSCs infected with SV failed to produce offspring, those transduced with FV-LVs were fertile. In vivo microinjection showed that FV-LVs could penetrate not only the basement membrane of the seminiferous tubules but also the blood-testis barrier, which resulted in successful transduction of both spermatogenic cells and testicular somatic cells. Cultured SSCs transfected with FV-LVs that express drug-inducible CRISPR/Cas9 against Kit or Sycp3 showed impaired spermatogenesis upon transplantation and drug treatment in vivo. Thus, FV-LVs provide an efficient method for functional analysis of genes involved in SSCs and spermatogenesis.
