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 viruses (AAVs) have emerged as the leading gene delivery platform owing to their nonpathogenic nature and long-term gene expression capability. The AAV capsid, in addition to protecting the viral genome, plays an important role in viral infectivity and gene transduction, indicating the value of the constituent viral proteins (VPs) being well-characterized as part of gene therapy development. However, the limited sample availability and sequence homology shared by the VPs pose challenges to adapt existing analytical methods developed for conventional biologics. In this study, we report the development of reversed-phase liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry-based methods for characterization of AAV capsid proteins at intact protein and peptide level with reduced sample consumptions. The developed methods allowed the measurement of VP expression with fluorescence detection and intact mass/post-translational modifications (PTMs) analysis through a benchtop time-of-flight mass spectrometer. The general applicability and validity of the methods for gene therapy product development were demonstrated by applying the optimized methods to multiple common AAV serotypes. A 1-h enzymatic digestion method was also developed using 1.25 μg of AAV VPs, providing >98% protein sequence coverage and reproducible relative quantification of various PTMs of the VPs. The efficient and sensitive analyses of AAV capsid proteins enabled by the reported methods provide further understanding and offer guidance in the development and manufacturing of AAV-related therapeutics.
