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

We have developed a method for stabilisation of polyelectrolyte gene delivery vectors by crosslinking their surfaces with biodegradable multivalent copolymers based on N-(2-hydroxypropyl)methacrylamide (HPMA). The resulting nanoparticulate vectors resist attack by serum proteins and can be modified for cell-specific delivery by incorporation of targeting ligands onto the polymer coating. Here we show that vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), transferrin and basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) can each be linked to polyHPMA-coated poly(L-lysine)/DNA complexes. All ligand-targeted complexes demonstrated increased uptake into receptor-positive cells (measured using plasmids containing 32P-dCTP), that could be antagonised with excess free ligand. Targeted complexes also showed increased transfection, resistant to inhibition by serum, suggesting the possibility of effective application in vivo. Analysis using fluorescence microscopy confirmed enhanced uptake of ligand-targeted complexes (using Texas Red-labelled plasmid DNA), although VEGF- and transferrin-targeted complexes were restricted to cytoplasmic or perinuclear distributions. In contrast, bFGF-targeted complexes showed efficient delivery into the nucleus, with accumulation of more than 100000 plasmids per cell within distinct intranuclear compartments. This method permits versatile targeting of genes to selected cells and may also permit manipulation of intracellular trafficking. It should find several important applications in gene delivery systems both in vitro and in vivo.
