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

purposePolymeric nucleic acid carriers are designed to overcome one or more barriers to delivery. High molecular weight polyethylenimine (PEI) shows high transfection efficiency but exhibits high cytotoxicity (Fischer et al. Biomaterials, 24:1121-1131 (2003); Peterson et al. Bioconjug. Chem., 13:845-854 (2002)). Nontoxic water-soluble lipopolymer (WSLP) was previously developed using branched poly(ethylenimine) (PEI, mw 1,800) and cholesteryl chloroformate (Han, Mahato, and Kim. Bioconjug. Chem., 12:337-345 (2001)) and is an effective non-viral gene carrier with transfection levels equal or above high molecular weight PEI with a lower cytotoxicity profile. To understand how differences in these polymeric carriers influence transfection, we studied the pharmacokinetics of polymer gene carriers at the cellular level. MATERIALS AND

methodsCells were exposed in vitro to different polymeric carriers and the transport of the carriers into different cellular compartments was determined using cellular fractionation and real-time quantitative PCR. A multi-compartment mathematical model was applied to time series measurements of the trafficking of plasmids across each cellular barrier.

resultsOur result indicates that the chemical modification of WSLP increased the rate parameter for endosomal escape significantly compared to conventional PEI carriers thereby increasing the overall transfection efficiency.

conclusionsThese results are consistent with the goal of endosomal destabilization of the carrier design. This method provides a quantitative means for assessing different polymer construct designs for gene delivery.
