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

To explore how long the gene-silencing effects of siRNA introduced into postmitotic neurons continue, we transferred siRNA against GFP into GFP-expressing Purkinje and Golgi cells in cerebellar cell cultures by single-cell electroporation. The temporal changes in the intensity of GFP fluorescence in the same electroporated cells were monitored in real time using GFP imaging. Under standard conditions, GFP fluorescence was reduced to under one-tenth of the initial levels 4-7 days after electroporation. Such effects continued at least up to 14 days after electroporation. The effects of siRNAs against endogenous genes also continued for the same period. Thus, this method could be an effective tool for silencing gene expression for a long period in postmitotic neurons.
