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

Coordinated expression of cell adhesion molecules and chemokines on the surface of vascular endothelium is responsible for the homing of immune effector cells to targeted sites. One way to attract non-activated immune cells to targeted organs is to use transgenically expressed adhesion molecules responsible for leukocyte recruitment. We have previously shown that polyethyleneimine (PEI) grafted with non-ionic amphiphilic Pluronic P123 block copolymer (P123PEI) modifies biodistribution of plasmid DNA toward the liver. In the present study, a P123PEI-formulated plasmid carrying the gene encoding for the murine ICAM-1 molecule was injected i.v. into transgenic ICAM-1-deficient mice. The RT-PCR analysis of ICAM-1 mRNA expression showed that P123PEI induced a dose-dependent expression of ICAM-1 in the liver. Furthermore, this expression of ICAM-1 induced neutrophil invasion in the liver, while no such invasion was observed in mice injected with formulated control plasmid or naked DNA. These results suggest that P123PEI allows functional transgene expression in the liver following i.v. injection and that ICAM-1 could be used to enhance immune response locally by attracting immune effector cells.
