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

The skin is an important target for gene transfer because of its easy accessibility. Using plasmid DNA expressing rat erythropoietin (pCAGGS-Epo) as the vector, we previously demonstrated long-term Epo delivery in rats by muscle-targeted gene transfer using in vivo electroporation. Here we examined whether this electroporation approach could be applied to gene delivery in rat skin. To optimize gene transfer, we tested the efficiency of skin-targeted Epo gene transfer with three types of electrodes at three different electrode voltages. Each rat was injected intradermally with a total of 800 microg of pCAGGS-Epo, in the abdominal area. Plate-and-fork-type electrodes were effective for Epo delivery by skin-targeted gene transfer at low voltages (12 approximately 24 V). The vector-derived Epo mRNA was expressed only at the DNA injection site. The Epo gene was expressed in a dose-dependent manner, the expression persisted for 7 weeks, and hematocrit levels were increased for 11 weeks. Skin injection with pCAGGS-lacZ showed lacZ gene expression in the epidermis on day 1 after injection and in the subcutaneous muscle layer on day 7. Slight skin damage due to the gene transfer procedure was evident on day 1, but absent by day 7. These results demonstrate that skin-targeted pCAGGS-Epo transfer by in vivo electroporation at low voltage is a useful procedure for the short-term delivery of Epo.
