DNAzymes and cardiovascular disease.
Review in British journal of pharmacology, 2008. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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.
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
Gene silencing techniques are gaining increasing popularity in the literature, both as a tool for unravelling gene function and to potentially deliver therapeutic benefit, especially in the context of cardiovascular disease. Gene-specific catalytic DNA molecules, or DNAzymes, have shown promise in ameliorating the effects of myocardial ischaemia reperfusion injury and in-stent restenosis in various animal models, demonstrating that these agents may be useful in a clinical setting. A review of the recent advances in the use of DNAzymes in treating cardiovascular disease is therefore essential given the increasing clinical burden of cardiovascular disease worldwide. We have thus sought to firstly provide background into the construct and mechanism of action of DNAzymes, with a discussion of recent improvements in design. Secondly, we have examined the effects of DNAzyme-mediated gene inhibition in in vitro studies of both endothelial and smooth muscle migration and proliferation, as well as in vivo models of acute myocardial infraction and neointima formation. Lastly we compare DNAzymes with other gene silencing tools and discuss issues involved in successfully delivering these drugs in a clinical setting.
