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 step-by-step protocol provides a cross-species, non-surgical approach that enables prenatal gene delivery to the developing nervous system in rats and marmosets. Under transabdominal ultrasound guidance, intracerebroventricular injection of recombinant adeno-associated virus vectors into the fetal brain achieves robust and long-term transduction from prenatal stages into adulthood. This approach can be adapted to other species and target sites outside nervous system, enabling safe and selective intrauterine manipulation and the generation of diverse experimental models for basic and preclinical research. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Ribeiro Gomes et al (2026)
