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

Recombinant adeno-associated viral (rAAV) vector-based gene therapy has been adapted for use in more than 100 clinical trials. This is mainly because of its excellent safety profile, ability to target a wide range of tissues, stable transgene expression, and significant clinical benefit. However, the major challenge is to produce a high-titer, high-potency vector to achieve a better therapeutic effect. Even though the three plasmid-based transient transfection method is currently being used for AAV production in many clinical trials, there are complications associated with scalability and it is not cost-effective. Other methods require either large-scale production of two herpes simplex viruses, rHSV-RepCap and rHSV-GOI (gene of interest), with high titers, or a stable cell line with high titer wild-type adenovirus infection. Both of these options make the process even more complex. To address this issue, we have developed a stable cell line-based production with the use of only one rHSV-RepCap virus. Using this new methodology in small-scale production, we achieved ∼1-6 E + 04 vg/cell of AAV9 in the top producer clones. Large-scale production in 10-CS (10-Cell Stack) of one of the top producing clones resulted in ∼1-2 E + 13 vg/10-CS with 50% of full capsid ratio after purification. This method could potentially be adapted to suspension cells. The major advantage of this novel methodology is that by using the rHSV-RepCap virus, high titer AAV can be produced with any GOI containing a stable adherent or suspension producer cell line. The use of this AAV production platform could be beneficial for the treatment of many diseases.
