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

Targeted delivery can potentially improve the pharmacological effects of antisense and siRNA oligonucleotides. Here, we describe a novel bioconjugation approach to the delivery of splice-shifting antisense oligonucleotides (SSOs). The SSOs are linked to albumin via reversible S-S bonds. The albumin is also conjugated with poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) chains that terminate in an RGD ligand that selectively binds the alphavbeta3 integrin. As a test system, we utilized human melanoma cells that express the alphavbeta3 integrin and that also contain a luciferase reporter gene that can be induced by delivery of SSOs to the cell nucleus. The RGD-PEG-SSO-albumin conjugates were endocytosed by the cells in an RGD-dependent manner; using confocal fluorescence microscopy, evidence was obtained that the SSOs accumulate in the nucleus. The conjugates were able to robustly induce luciferase expression at concentrations in the 25-200 nM range. At these levels, little short-term or long-term toxicity was observed. Thus, the RGD-PEG-albumin conjugates may provide an effective tool for targeted delivery of oligonucleotides to certain cells and tissues.
