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

Using fluorescence microscopy we have tracked the cellular binding, surface motion, and internalization of polyarginine and polyethylenimine, cationic ligands used for gene and protein delivery. Each ligand was complexed with a quantum dot to provide a photostable probe. Transfection with exogenous DNA was used to relate the observed motion to gene delivery. Cell surface motion was independent of sulfated proteoglycans, but dependent on cholesterol. Cellular internalization required sulfated proteoglycans and cholesterol. These observations suggest that sulfated proteoglycans act as cellular receptors for the cationic ligands, rather than only passive binding sites. Understanding the interaction of polyarginine and polyethylenimine with the plasma membrane may assist in designing more efficient gene delivery systems.
