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

Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a severe congenital disease associated with mutation of the dystrophin gene. Supplementation of dystrophin using recombinant adeno-associated virus (rAAV) has promise as a treatment for DMD, although vector-related general toxicities, such as liver injury, neurotoxicity, and germline transmission, have been suggested in association with the systemic delivery of high doses of rAAV. Here, we treated normal or dystrophic dogs with rAAV9 transduction in conjunction with multipotent mesenchymal stromal cell (MSC) injection to investigate the therapeutic effects of an rAAV expressing microdystrophin (μDys) under conditions of immune modulation. Bone-marrow-derived MSCs, rAAV-CMV-μDys, and a rAAV-CAG-luciferase (Luc) were injected into the jugular vein of a young dystrophic dog to induce systemic expression of μDys. One week after the first injection, the dog received a second intravenous injection of MSCs, and on the following day, rAAV was intravenously injected into the same dog. Systemic injection of rAAV9 with MSCs pretreatment improves gene transfer into normal and dystrophic dogs. Dystrophic phenotypes significantly improved in the rAAV-μDys-injected dystrophic dog, suggesting that an improved rAAV-μDys treatment including immune modulation induces successful long-term transgene expression to improve dystrophic phenotypes.
