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

Inborn errors of immunity (IEI) are diseases caused by genetic mutations that affect the immune system's ability to fight pathogens, cope with the microbiota or regulate autoimmunity and inflammation. More than 500 IEI have been described and many are life-threatening and require curative therapy. Allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation is an increasingly effective curative strategy, and autologous transplantation of gene-modified haematopoietic stem and progenitor cells is also a treatment option. Gene therapy was first successfully used to restore T cell development in patients with severe combined immunodeficiency, with ex vivo engineered gammaretroviral vectors enabling the sustained correction of T cell immunodeficiency more than 20 years later. The generation of safer and more potent vectors has increased the efficacy and application of this therapy to other IEI, such as Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome and chronic granulomatous disease. Nevertheless, gene therapy based on gene addition has some limitations, the greatest of which is the lack of a physiological gene expression control. This Perspective summarizes the journey of the past 25 years that has led to the successful use of gene therapy for IEI and discusses the next steps for the field.
