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

unlabelledThe nuclear envelope represents a key barrier to successful nonviral transfection and gene therapy both in vitro and in vivo. Although the main purpose of the nuclear envelope is to partition the cell to maintain cytoplasmic components in the cytoplasm and nuclear components, most notably genomic DNA, in the nucleus, this function poses a problem for transfections in which exogenous DNA is delivered into the cytoplasm. After delivery to the cytoplasm, nucleic acids rapidly become complexed with cellular proteins that mediate interactions with the cellular machinery for trafficking. Thus, it is these proteins that, in essence, control the nuclear import of DNA, and we must also understand their activities in cells. In this review, we will discuss the principles of nuclear import of proteins and DNA-protein complexes, as well as the various approaches that investigators have used to improve nuclear targeting of plasmids. These approaches include complexation of plasmids with peptides, native and engineered proteins, ligands and polymers, as well as the inclusion of transcription factor-binding sites for general and cell-specific delivery.
