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 one of the most commonly used vectors for gene therapy, and the applications for AAV-delivered therapies are numerous. However, the current state of technology is limited by the low efficiency with which most AAV vectors transduce skeletal muscle tissue. We demonstrate that vector efficiency can be enhanced by modifying the AAV capsid with a peptide that binds a receptor highly expressed in muscle tissue. When an insulin-mimetic peptide, S519, previously characterized for its high affinity to insulin receptor (IR), was inserted into the capsid, the AAV9 transduction efficiency of IR-expressing cell lines as well as differentiated primary human muscle cells was dramatically enhanced. This vector also exhibited efficient transduction of mouse muscle
