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

abstractIn vivo hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) gene therapy is an emerging and promising area of focus in the gene therapy field. Humanized mouse models are frequently used to evaluate novel HSC gene therapy approaches. Here, we comprehensively evaluated 2 mouse strains, NSG and NBSGW. We studied human HSC engraftment in the bone marrow (BM), mobilization of BM-engrafted HSCs into circulation, in vivo transduction using vesicular stomatitis virus glycoprotein-pseudotyped lentiviral vectors (VSV-G LVs), and the expression levels of surface receptors needed for transduction of viral vectors. Our findings reveal that the NBSGW strain exhibits superior engraftment of human long-term HSCs compared with the NSG strain. However, neither model resulted in a significant increase in circulating human HSCs after mobilization. We show that time after humanization as well as human chimerism levels and platelet counts in the peripheral blood can be used as surrogates for human HSC engraftment in the BM. Furthermore, we observed low expression of the low-density lipoprotein receptor, a requirement for VSV-G LV transduction, in the human HSCs present in the murine BM. Our comprehensive characterization of humanized mouse models highlights the necessity of proper validation of the model and methods to study in vivo HSC gene therapy strategies.
