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 promising in vivo gene delivery platform showing advantages in delivering therapeutic molecules to difficult or undruggable cells. However, natural AAV serotypes have insufficient transduction specificity and efficiency in kidney cells. Here, we developed an evolution-directed selection protocol for renal glomeruli and identified what we believe to be a new vector termed AAV2-GEC that specifically and efficiently targets the glomerular endothelial cells (GEC) after systemic administration and maintains robust GEC tropism in healthy and diseased rodents. AAV2-GEC-mediated delivery of IdeS, a bacterial antibody-cleaving proteinase, provided sustained clearance of kidney-bound antibodies and successfully treated antiglomerular basement membrane glomerulonephritis in mice. Taken together, this study showcases the potential of AAV as a gene delivery platform for challenging cell types. The development of AAV2-GEC and its successful application in the treatment of antibody-mediated kidney disease represents a significant step forward and opens up promising avenues for kidney medicine.
