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

Most gene therapy clinical trials that systemically administered adeno-associated virus (AAV) vector enrolled only patients without anti-AAV-neutralizing antibodies. However, laboratory tests to measure neutralizing antibodies varied among clinical trials and have not been standardized. In this study, we attempted to improve the sensitivity and reproducibility of a cell-based assay to detect neutralizing antibodies and to determine the detection threshold to predict treatment efficacy. Application of the secreted type of NanoLuc and AAV receptor-expressing cells reduced the multiplicity of infection (MOI) for AAV transduction and improved the sensitivity to detect neutralizing antibodies with a low coefficient of variation, whereas the detection threshold could not be improved by the reduction of MOI to <100. After human immunoglobulin administration into mice at various doses, treatment with high-dose AAV8 vector enabled evasion of the inhibitory effect of neutralizing antibodies. Conversely, gene transduction was slightly influenced in the mice treated with low-dose AAV8 vector, even when neutralizing antibodies were determined to be negative in the assay. In conclusion, we developed a reliable and sensitive cell-based assay to measure neutralizing antibodies against AAV and found that the appropriate MOI to detect marginal neutralizing antibodies was 100. Other factors, including noninhibitory antibodies, marginally influence
