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

Recombinant adeno-associated virus (rAAV) is a widely used viral vector for gene therapy. However, a limitation of AAV-mediated gene therapy is that patients are typically dosed only once. In this study, we investigated the possibility of delivering multiple rounds of AAV through intracerebral injections in the mouse brain, and discovered a dose-dependent modulation of the second administration by the first-round AAV injection in a brain-wide scale. High-dose AAV injection increased chemokines CXCL9 and CXCL10 to recruit parenchymal infiltration of lymphocytes, whereas the blood-brain-barrier was relatively intact. Brain-wide dissection discovered the likely routes of the infiltrated lymphocytes through perivascular space and ventricles. Further analysis revealed that B lymphocytes played a critical role in inhibiting the redose. Choosing the right dosage for the first injection or switching the second AAV to a different serotype provided an effective way to antagonize the first-round AAV inhibition. Together, these results suggest that mammalian brains are not immunoprivileged for AAV infection, but multiple rounds of AAV gene therapy are feasible if designed carefully with proper doses and serotypes.
