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

Recent technological and conceptual advances have resulted in a plethora of exciting novel engineered adeno associated viral (AAV) vector variants. They all have unique characteristics and abilities. This review summarizes the development and their potential in treating Parkinson's disease (PD). Clinical trials in PD have shown over the last decade that AAV is a safe and suitable vector for gene therapy but that it also is a vehicle that can benefit significantly from improvement in specificity and potency. This review provides a concise collection of the state-of-the-art for synthetic capsids and their utility in PD. We also summarize what therapeutical strategies may become feasible with novel engineered vectors, including genome editing and neuronal rejuvenation.
