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

This prospective phase 1 pilot study evaluated the safety and efficacy of GS001, an adeno-associated virus serotype 8 (AAV8)-based vector encoding B-domain-deleted factor VIII with exploratory assessment of prophylactic immunosuppression. Twelve adult severe hemophilia A participants were enrolled. Participants received GS001 at either 2×10¹² (low dose cohort) or 4×10¹² (high dose cohort) vg/kg following prophylactic treatment with prednisone alone or prednisone plus tacrolimus starting from one week before GS001 infusion. Median (range) follow-up was 156.0 (144.0-208.0) / 110.5 (104.0-130.0) weeks (2×10¹² / 4×10¹² vg/kg). Transgene expression peaked at 5-7 weeks post-infusion. In low dose cohort, at week 144.0, median (range) factor VIII activity was 5.6 (0.5-52.0) IU/dL (n = 6). In high dose cohort, at week 104.0, median (range) factor VIII activity was 42.7 (29.4-92.1) IU/dL (n = 6) and all six participants sustained factor VIII levels above 29 IU/dL. Both cohorts showed significant reductions in annualized bleeding rate and factor VIII consumption with grade 1-2 adverse events. Alanine aminotransferase elevations occurred in 3/6 and 5/6 low/high-dose participants and most were grade 1. The Single-cell RNA analysis demonstrated that the prednisone plus tacrolimus pretreatment effectively inhibited CD8
