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

Biodistribution of nonviral cationic vector/DNA complexes was studied after systemic or intratracheal administration to the lungs and correlated with transgene expression. Intravenous injection in C57Bl/6 mice gave maximal and significant luciferase expression in the lungs with the cationic polymer PEI 22K/DNA complexes at the highest ratios of positive/negative charges versus DNA alone. While DOTAP/DNA complexes with high charge ratio determined lower but still significant luciferase activity versus uncomplexed DNA, GL-67A and PEI 25K mediated negligible luciferase expression. Labelled PEI 22K and DOTAP complexes were evenly distributed in the alveolar region, where GFP expression was revealed, while PEI 25K and GL-67A complexes were not detected, suggesting a different interaction of these complexes with the plasma membrane of endothelial cells. Following an intratracheal injection, the highest and significant levels of transfection were obtained with slightly positive PEI complexes as compared with DNA alone, whereas cationic lipid-based vectors, DOTAP and GL-67A, gave not significant luciferase activity. Both types of polyplexes gave similar levels of lung luciferase expression by targeting different airway cell populations. PEI 25K complexes determined high levels of GFP in the bronchial cells, confirming confocal data on fluorescent complexes internalization. PEI 22K complexes gave mainly high GFP signal in the distal tract of the bronchial tree, where tagged complexes were recovered. Fluorescent lipid complexes were found in aggregates in the lumen of bronchi totally (DOTAP) or partially (GL-67A) co-localizing with surfactant protein A. Results indicated that cationic polymers could overcome the surfactant barrier which inhibited airway cell transfection mediated by cationic lipids.
