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

We have recently developed the so-called recombinant immunoporter as a non-viral vector based on a single-chain antibody (scFv) derived from a monoclonal antibody B4G7 against epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor. This immunoporter (mBBD20) was composed of single-chain antibody and negatively charged oligopeptide tail [5 units of Asn4Ser (D20)], and was expressed in yeast as a secreted protein. The purified mBBD20 was converted to an immunogene by mixing it with DNA and a cationic polymer, polyethyleneimine (PEI). The resulting complex, namely recombinant immunogene, exhibited gene transfer activity with EGFR-specificity in vitro (Suzuki et al., Gene Ther. 2003). In this paper, we further improved various conditions necessary for the formation of the proper recombinant immunogene, retaining receptor specificity of its binding, intracellular processing of the receptor-bound gene, and efficient gene expression. Moreover, we provided evidence that the recombinant immunoporter made with humanized scFv could be used as a potent gene transfer vehicle to target particular tumor cells. This approach seems worthy of clinical trial.
