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

Anti-AAV neutralizing antibody (NAb) level s vary widely across regions and serotypes, yet current data on their seroprevalence in the Chinese population remain limited. This multi-provincial observational study recruited 286 adult participants across six Chinese provinces to assess NAbs against six clinically relevant serotypes using transduction inhibition assays. Results showed widespread NAb prevalence in the Chinese population, with anti-AAV2 having the highest median titer (1:1,675) and anti-AAV5 the lowest (1:15). Prevalence patterns aligned with capsid sequence conservation, with higher similarity serotypes showing comparable prevalence. Geographically, southern provinces showed significantly greater seroprevalence of anti-AAV6 and anti-AAV8 NAbs than northern provinces. Healthcare workers performing invasive procedures had higher titers for anti-AAV5 NAb than staff performing non-invasive procedures. Tree-based regression revealed serotype-specific correlates: total cholesterol and HBsAb showed broad statistically positive associations with NAb titers, while ApoA1 was selectively positive and ApoB negative. This work provides real-world reference data for NAb prevalence in China, demonstrating widespread prevalence with particularly high AAV2 titers influenced by geographical and demographic factors. Considering the hepatotropic nature of AAV and the importance of hepatic lipid metabolism, the correlation between NAb titers and lipid profiles (cholesterol and apolipoproteins) points to potential biological mechanisms that merit further study.
