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

Adeno-associated virus (AAV)-based gene therapy for severe neurological diseases is challenged by immune responses, which are difficult to study accurately in genetically divergent rodent models or in in vitro human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived microglia (iMGL) that acquire activated phenotypes lacking complex brain environment cues. To address this, we generated human microglia chimeric mice. We developed a high-yield iMGL differentiation protocol incorporating a cryopreservation stopping point at the induced hematopoietic precursor cell (iHPC) stage, which increased flexibility and enabled a high level of chimerism. Engrafted iMGL transcriptionally and phenotypically resembled primary human microglia and were functionally active, displaying phagocytosis and immune response to inflammatory stimuli. Assessment of AAV serotypes revealed that murine microglia induced a larger immune response compared to human iMGL, cautioning against overinterpreting inflammatory responses in rodent models. This model provides a critical tool to define the human immune response to AAVs early in vector discovery.
