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

Adeno-associated virus (AAV) vectors are a leading platform for gene therapy. Recently, AAV-mediated gene therapy in the inner ear has progressed from laboratory use to clinical trials, but the lower transduction rates in outer hair cells (OHCs) in the organ of Corti and in vestibular hair cells in adult mice still pose a challenge. OHCs are particularly vulnerable to inner ear insults. In this study, we demonstrated that expression of a key AAV receptor (AAVR, Kiaa0319l, or Au040320) in OHCs and vestibular hair cells decreases significantly in mature mice and AAV particles directly interact with AAVR by forming complexes. Consequently, antibody blockage of AAVR significantly inhibits AAV transduction in sensory hair cells in cochlear explants. Moreover, use of AAVR knockout mice confirms inhibition of AAV transduction in sensory hair cells in vivo. Finally, conditional overexpression of AAVR in sensory hair cells of adult mice successfully restores AAV transduction efficiency in OHCs and vestibular hair cells. In conclusion, this strong evidence that AAVR is essential for AAV transduction in sensory hair cells will help to increase the efficacy of future gene therapy in inner ear.
