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

Despite tremendous progress in our understanding of fibrogenesis, injury stimuli process, inflammation, and hepatic stellate cell (HSC) activation, there is still no standard treatment for liver fibrosis. Delivery of small molecular weight drugs, proteins, and nucleic acids to specific liver cell types remains a challenge due to the overexpression of extracellular matrix (ECM) and consequent closure of sinusoidal gaps. In addition, activation of HSCs and subsequent release of inflammatory cytokines and infiltration of immune cells are other major obstacles to the treatment of liver fibrosis. To overcome these barriers, different therapeutic approaches are being investigated. Among them, the modulation of certain aberrant protein production is quite promising for treating liver fibrosis. In this review, we describe the mechanism of antisense, antigene, and RNA interference (RNAi) therapies and discuss how the backbone modification of oligonucleotides affects their in vivo stability, biodistribution, and bioactivity. Strategies for delivering these nucleic acids to specific cell types are discussed. This review critically addresses various insights developed with each individual strategy and for multipronged approaches, which will be helpful in achieving more effective outcomes.
