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

Cationic liposome-DNA complexes (CLDC) are cationic/neutral lipid carriers complexed with plasmid DNA that when administered systemically results in a robust T(H)1 cytokine response. CLDC have been shown to be effective in prophylaxis and therapeutic treatment of animal models of viral disease. To determine the contribution of liposomal delivery and CpG content of the plasmid DNA to the efficacy of CLDC; plasmid, CpG-free plasmid DNA, or CpG-containing oligodeoxynucleotides (ODN) with and without liposomes, as well as poly(I:C(12)U), were evaluated for their ability to elicit protection against lethal Punta Toro virus (PTV, Bunyaviridae, phlebovirus) challenge in hamsters. CLDC-containing plasmid significantly improved survival, decreased systemic and liver viral loads, and reduced liver damage due to progression of viral infection. Mouse-reactive ODNs complexed with liposomes failed to protect hamsters, whereas ODNs known to cross-react with human and mouse (CpG 2006) or non-liposomal poly(I:C(12)U) showed survival benefit but did not limit liver injury. Liposomes complexed with a non-CpG motif-containing plasmid reduced liver viral load and tissue damage, but did not protect hamsters from death. To evaluate the mechanisms of the enhanced activity of CLDC, microarray experiments examined differences in the gene expression profile. The results suggest a broad T(H)1 response elicited by liposomal delivery of a diverse sequence containing CpG and non-CpG elements may be a more effective antiviral treatment than other nucleic acid based immunotherapeutics.
