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

Immune responses against recombinant adeno-associated virus (rAAV) are one of the major obstacles in gene therapy. We investigated the potential of Programmed Death 1 ligands 1 and 2 (PD-L1/2) to protect AAV-transduced cells from immunological clearance. Ligand compatibility for co-delivery was first evaluated using two transgenes, VEGF-B186 and muSEAP, separated from PD-L1/2 by a self-cleaving P2A peptide. After proper cleavage and biological activity of the co-produced proteins were demonstrated in vitro, the effect of PD-L1/2 co-expression on muSEAP production and persistence was studied in naïve and vector pre-immunized mice. Vectors (rAAV6-muSEAP, rAAV6-muSEAP-PD-L1, or rAAV6-muSEAP-PD-L2) were injected into two sites of the gastrocnemius muscle at a total dose of 1×10
