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

purposeA reversibly-PEGylated diblock copolymer, poly(aspartate-hydrazide-poly(ethylene glycol))-block-poly(aspartate-diaminoethane) (p[Asp(Hyd-PEG)]-b-p[Asp(DET)]) was reported here for enhanced gene transfection and colloidal stability. The diblock copolymer possessed a unique architecture based on a poly(aspartamide) backbone. The first block, p[Asp(Hyd)], was used for multi-PEG conjugations, and the second block, p[Asp(DET)], was used for DNA condensation and endosomal escape.

methodsp[Asp(Hyd-PEG)]-b-p[Asp(DET)] was synthesized and characterized by (1)H-NMR. Polyplexes were formed by mixing the synthesized polymers and pDNA. The polyplex size, ζ-potential, and in vitro transfection efficiency were determined by dynamic light scattering, ζ-potential measurements, and luciferase assays, respectively. pH-dependent release of PEG from the polymer was monitored by cationic-exchange chromatography.

resultsThe polyplexes were 70-90 nm in size, and the surface charge was effectively shielded by a PEG layer. The transfection efficiency of the reversibly PEGylated polyplexes was confirmed to be comparable to that of the non-PEGylated counterparts and 1,000 times higher than that of the irreversibly PEGylated polyplexes. PEG release was demonstrated to be pH-sensitive. Fifty percent of the PEG was released within 30 min at pH 5, while the polymer incubated at pH 7.4 could still maintain 50% of PEG after 8 h.

conclusionThe reversibly PEGylated polyplexes were shown to maintain polyplex stability without compromising transfection efficiency.
