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

purposeThis study was performed to develop a reliable aqueous size-exclusion chromatography (SEC) method to obtain the absolute molar masses and distributions of various cationic polymers used in gene delivery.

methodsWater-soluble cationic [2-(dimethylamino) ethyl methacrylate] polymers (PDEs) with different molar masses and low polydispersities were synthesized by living polymerization and these were used to optimize the SEC conditions. Online coupled multiangle light scattering (MALS) detection was applied to obtain the absolute molar masses. Narrow fractions of high molar mass were obtained by semipreparative SEC.

resultsIt was found that 0.3 M NaAc (pH 4.4) is a suitable eluent in combination with Shodex OHpak SB columns for SEC analysis of PDEs and other cationic polymers, such as poly(L-lysine) and poly(ethylene imine). The absolute molar masses of different PDEs were determined directly using SEC-MALS. A calibration curve was established using narrow PDEs.

conclusionsA reliable routine method for molar-mass characterization of cationic polymers was established. Because standards of known molar masses with narrow distributions are not commercially available for most polymers used in pharmaceutics and biotechnology, the procedure described in this work can also be applied for molar-mass characterization of other water-soluble polymers.
