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

Background and aims: Adeno-associated virus (AAV) is becoming an attractive vector due to its low toxicity and minimal immunogenicity. However, liver-targeted AAV gene therapy still faces challenges, such as low delivery efficiency and safety risks associated with high vector doses. Isolated hepatic perfusion (IHP) has been explored as a localized drug delivery method, yet its full potential in gene therapy remains under investigation. Here, we investigated the efficiency of AAV8 delivery via the IHP route and its preference for hepatic transduction. Methods: The IHP route was established through surgery in rats and cynomolgus monkey, and the AAV8-dTomato solution was injected into the entire liver through the inflow tract and maintained for 10 min. One week later, liver tissues were obtained, and the dTomato fluorescence expression area fraction and intensity were analyzed. Results: AAV8-dTomato delivery via the IHP resulted in over 60% dTomato-positive areas in rat liver and showed higher efficiency than the portal vein (PV) and inferior vena cava (IVC) routes at equivalent doses. In rats, AAV8-dTomato expression was primarily periportal across IHP, PV, and IVC routes, while in cynomolgus monkey, IHP delivery showed a pericentral pattern. Conclusions: In this study, we found that IHP is an effective strategy for AAV8 delivery. In addition, the distribution characteristics of AAV8, when delivered in cynomolgus monkey via IHP, provide candidate vector delivery schemes for gene therapy for different types of genetic liver diseases.
