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

In order to explore the role of TNF-alpha in Niemann-Pick type C (NPC) disease, lentiviral-delivered RNA interference (RNAi) was used to silence the expression of murine TNF-alpha gene in vitro and in npc mice. Interference efficiency of the lentivirus expressing TNF-alpha-siRNA, previously constructed with the concentration of 2 x 10(8) ifu/mL, was determined by RT-PCR and ELISA in BV-2 cells and astrocytes. At the same time, the constructed Lenti-TNF-alpha-siRNA was intracerebroventricularly infused into 4-week old npc mice for a 4-week period, and the mice were divided into 3 groups: Lenti-TNF-alpha-siRNA (n=6), control lentivirus (n=6), and NPC mice without any intervention (n=4). By using immunohistochemistry and real-time PCR, the down-regulation of the target genes was detected. The Lenti-TNF-alpha-siRNA downregulated the expression of murine TNF-alpha gene efficiently in vitro and the interference efficiency was 66.7%. Lentivirus could be expressed stably for long-term in the npc mice brain. Immunohistochemistry and real-time PCR revealed that, as compared with non-intervention group and Lenti-control group, Lenti-TNF-alpha-siRNA efficiently down-regulated the expression of murine TNF-alpha gene with the interference efficiency being 66.9%. TNF-alpha-siRNA down-regulated the expression of TNF-alpha gene in vitro and in vivo, which provided a potential tool for studying and treating neurodegenerative diseases and TNF-alpha-related diseases.
