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

abstractThe curative benefits of autologous and allogeneic transplantation of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) have been proven in various diseases. However, the low number of true HSCs that can be collected from patients and the subsequent in vitro maintenance and expansion of true HSCs for genetic correction remains challenging. Addressing this issue, we here focused on optimizing culture conditions to improve ex vivo expansion of true HSCs for gene therapy purposes. In particular, we explored the use of epigenetic regulators to enhance the effectiveness of HSC-based lentiviral (LV) gene therapy. The histone deacetylase inhibitor quisinostat and bromodomain inhibitor CPI203 each promoted ex vivo expansion of functional HSCs, as validated by xenotransplantation assays and single-cell RNA sequencing analysis. We confirmed the stealth effect of LV transduction on the loss of HSC numbers in commonly used culture protocols, whereas the addition of quisinostat or CPI203 improved the expansion of HSCs in transduction protocols. Notably, we demonstrated that the addition of quisinostat improved the LV transduction efficiency of HSCs and early progenitors. Our suggested culture conditions highlight the potential therapeutic effects of epigenetic regulators in HSC biology and their clinical applications to advance HSC-based gene correction.
