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

Three combinatorial libraries of polymeric vectors were evaluated to investigate the functional roles of molecular weight (MW), cations, pH-sensitive moieties, and hydrophobic derivitization in polymer-mediated gene delivery. Four cationic and pH-sensitive moieties (imidazole, primary, secondary, and tertiary amino) and three hydrophobic residues (C4 butyl, C6 hexyl, and C8 octyl) were assessed in single and serially incremented, binary combinations. Three MWs were evaluated-10, 30, and 50 kDa. The highest levels of transfection, comparable to branched PEI (25 kDa), were achieved by 30 kDa and 50 kDa formulations containing primary amino and imidazole groups. Primary amino groups offered superior charge-neutralizing and size-condensing capacity, while imidazole groups appeared to bind with DNA via nonelectrostatically mediated interactions to produce stable polyplexes that were resistant to premature dissociation. Eight of the 10 highest-transfecting polymers possessed IC(50) values greater than the maximum concentration of free polymers exposed to cells (200 microg/ml). The results herein have identified highly efficient polymeric formulations with superb toxicity profiles and have revealed the functional roles that the investigated pendant groups play in the transfection process. The reported polymeric system offers a versatile and robust platform upon which future structure-function studies may be based to create safer and more efficient polymeric vectors.
