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

RNA interference (RNAi) is a sequence-specific gene silencing technique that has been applied to multiple pathological conditions. In this report, we describe the generation and in vitro characterization of an RNAi-based fluorescent probe for use as a therapeutic in the setting of ischemic stroke. Probe delivery to bEnd.3 brain endothelial cells and primary cortical neurons and astrocytes was promoted by incorporating small interfering RNA (siRNA) into complexes with fluorescently labeled myristoylated polyarginine peptides. The resulting probe was partially protected from serum nuclease degradation and was efficiently internalized by cells as confirmed by flow cytometry and confocal microscopy. In addition, application of the siRNA probe directed against c-Src, a protein implicated in stroke pathology, led to statistically significant reduction of endogenous c-src mRNA levels in all cell types tested. Results demonstrate the proof-of-principle that functionalized peptide--siRNA probes can be used as potential tools for dual imaging and therapeutic applications.
