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) is a small ssDNA satellite virus that receives wide attention due to its popularity as a safe and effective gene therapy vector. The AAV cell entry receptor (AAVR) for most serotypes is a glycoprotein containing five polycystic kidney disease (PKD) domains with which AAV interacts. AAV serotypes can be classified into three groups: those that interact primarily with PKD1, those whose interactions with PKD2 are stronger, and AAV4-like serotypes whose transduction is AAVR-independent. A phylogenetic analysis of AAVR and paralog KIAA0319 revealed AAVR amino acid variability in the region of PKD1 that is bound by AAV. We hypothesized that the substitution, in all cat-like animals, of a glutamate at a site that is an arginine (R353) in human AAVR may interfere with the binding of clade H AAVs that interact exclusively with PKD1. Analysis of PKD1 mutations, including ELISA, shows that an R353E substitution of glutamate for arginine affects the binding of the clade H AAVs that interact primarily with PKD1.
