Lentiviral Vector Administration into the Mouse Brain.
Article in Methods in molecular biology (Clifton, N.J.), 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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 identification of neuronal circuits and their specific functions in behavior and disease is essential for understanding the mammalian brain. A promising technique to advance this goal involves the use of lentiviral vectors for specific gene transfer into specific brain circuit. The vesicular stomatitis virus glycoprotein (VSV-G) pseudotyped lentiviral vectors can introduce genes in neurons at the injection sites. Retrograde lentiviral vectors, such as highly efficient retrograde gene transfer (HiRet) and neuron-specific retrograde gene transfer (NeuRet) vectors, enable the delivery of genetic materials into neurons based on their axonal projections. These lentiviral vectors represent a powerful genetic tool for neuroscience research. Here, we describe a step-by-step experimental procedure for injecting viral vectors into target brain areas using the basal ganglia circuit as example in mice to map their functional properties. This methodology, which integrates local and retrograde gene transfer with optogenetic manipulation, offers a robust framework for investigating the functional organization of neuronal circuits. In demonstrating this approach, this chapter aims to guide researchers to apply these techniques to study brain functions and disorders of interest.
