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

The development of viral vectors has been particularly critical for genetic therapies of hematological diseases. Before the development of retrovirus vectors (RVVs), gene transfer into mammalian cells was accomplished by transduction of DNA plasmids by chemical means and later by electroporation. The main limitation of these methods is the inefficiency of transfer of intact sequences, and particularly with electroporation significant cell death of the manipulated cells. The earliest successful human gene therapy trials utilized γ-RVVs and many of the techniques developed in the 1980s. A breakthrough for the field was the exploitation and development of HIV for transfer vectors, termed lentivirus vectors. In this review, we highlight uses of retro- and lentivirus vectors in monogenic diseases in which hematopoietic stem cells are used in the autologous setting to treat immunodeficiencies, hemoglobinopathies and metabolic diseases. The three authors' perspective represent experiences in the field over four decades that encompasses both basic translational research and development and oversight of early and ongoing gene therapy trials utilizing viral vectors.
