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

purposeThe aim of this study is to analyze linear calf thymus DNA (ct DNA) nanoparticle formation with N4,N9-dioleoylspermine and N1-cholesteryl spermine carbamate.

methodsFluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS) was used to determine the quality of ct DNA condensed by lipopolyamines. ct DNA was prelabeled with PicoGreen (PG) to allow fluorescence intensity fluctuation measurement and analysis.

resultsN4,N9-dioleoylspermine efficiently condensed ct DNA into point-like molecules with diffusion coefficient (D) = 1.8 x 10(-12) m2/s and particle number (PN) = 0.7 [at ammonium/phosphate (N/P) charge ratio = 1.0-1.5]. The determined PN values are close to the theoretical value of 0.6, providing evidence that the DNA conformation has been fully transformed, and thus a single nanoparticle has been detected. N1-cholesteryl spermine carbamate showed (slightly) poorer DNA condensation efficiency, even at higher N/P ratios (N/P = 1.5-2.5) with D = 1.3 x 10(-12) m2/s and PN value of 5.2. N4,N9-dioleoylspermine is a more efficient DNA-condensing agent than N1-cholesteryl spermine carbamate.

conclusionsFCS measurement using PG as the probe is a novel analytical method to detect single nanoparticles of condensed DNA in nonviral gene therapy formulation studies.
