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

Water-soluble lipopolymer (WSLP), which consisted of polyethylenimine (PEI, 1800 Da) and cholesterol, was characterized as a gene carrier to smooth muscle cells and myocardium. Acid-base titration showed that WSLP had a proton-buffering effect. The size of WSLP/plasmid DNA (pDNA) complex was around 70 nm. WSLP/pDNA complex was transfected to A7R5 cells, a smooth muscle cell line. WSLP showed the highest transfection at a 40/1 N/P ratio. WSLP has higher transfection efficiency than PEI (1800 and 25 000 Da), SuperFect, and lipofectamine. In addition, WSLP has less cytotoxicity than PEI (25 000 Da), SuperFect, and lipofectamine. Since WSLP has cholesterol moiety, it may utilize cellular cholesterol uptake pathway, in which low-density lipoprotein (LDL) is involved. An inhibition study with free cholesterol or low-density lipoprotein (LDL) showed that transfection was inhibited by cholesterol or LDL, suggesting that WSLP/pDNA complex is transfected to the cells through the cholesterol uptake pathway. To evaluate the transfection efficiency to myocardium, WSLP/pDNA complex was injected into the rabbit myocardium. WSLP showed higher transfection than PEI and naked pDNA. WSLP expressed the transgene for more than 2 weeks. In conclusion, WSLP is an efficient carrier for local gene transfection to myocardium, and useful in in vivo gene therapy.
