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

purposeThe aim of this study is to extend our previous studies to investigate the TerplexDNA synthetic gene carrier system in pharmacokinetics, biodistribution, and gene expression in major organs after systemic administration.

methodsThe stability of the TerplexDNA system was analyzed in vitro with a serum incubation assay. The TerplexDNA PK/PD studies were conducted by quantitation of Terplex/radiolabeled DNA [CTP alpha-32P] complexes after rat-tail vein injection. The effect of the TerplexDNA system on gene expression in mouse major organs was analyzed by measuring luciferase activities after systemic administration.

resultsThe TerplexDNA gene carrier showed significantly longer retention in the vascular space than naked plasmid DNA alone. At early time points (1 h postvenous injection), the lung was the major organ of the TerplexDNA distribution, followed by the liver as a major distribution organ at later time points (24 h postinjection). The major organs of transgene expression after intravenous injection were the liver and heart.

conclusionThe TerplexDNA system has the potential for in vivo applications due to its higher bioavailability of plasmid DNA in the tissues, and due to its organ specific distribution.
