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

A number of neurodegenerative disorders may potentially be treated by the delivery of therapeutic genes to neurons. Nonviral gene delivery systems, however, typically provide low transfection efficiency in post-mitotic differentiated neurons. To uncover mechanistic reasons for this observation, we compared gene transfer to undifferentiated and differentiated SH-SY5Y cells using polyethylenimine (PEI)/DNA nanocomplexes. Differentiated cells exhibited substantially lower uptake of gene vectors. To overcome this bottleneck, RGD or HIV-1 Tat peptides were attached to PEI/DNA nanocomplexes via poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) spacer molecules. Both RGD and Tat improved the cellular uptake of gene vectors and enhanced gene transfection efficiency of primary neurons up to 14-fold. RGD functionalization resulted in a statistically significant increase in vector escape from endosomes, suggesting it may improve gene delivery by more than one mechanism.
