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 development of efficient systems for in vivo gene transfer to the central nervous system (CNS) may provide a useful therapeutic strategy for the alleviation of several neurological disorders. In this study, we evaluated the feasibility of nonviral gene therapy to the CNS mediated by cationic liposomes. We present evidence of the successful delivery and expression of both a reporter and a therapeutic gene in the rodent brain, as evaluated by immunohistochemical assays. Our results indicate that transferrin-associated cationic liposome/DNA complexes (Tf-lipoplexes) allow a significant enhancement of transfection activity as compared to plain complexes, and that 8/1 (+/-) Tf-lipoplexes constitute the best formulation to mediate in vivo gene transfer. We demonstrated that Tf-lipoplex-mediated nerve growth factor transgene expression attenuates the morphological damages of the kainic acid-induced lesion as assessed by 2,3,5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride (TTC) vital staining. These findings suggest the usefulness of these lipid-based vectors in mediating the delivery of therapeutic genes to the CNS.
