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

purposeTo optimise and simplify preparation of targeted liposomes for efficient siRNA delivery to neuroblastoma, the most common solid tumour in early childhood.

methodsLiposomes containing siRNA were prepared by combining the novel dual asymmetric centrifugation (DAC) method and the recently optimised sterol-based post-insertion technique (SPIT) to couple anti-GD2 antibody for selective interaction with neuroblastoma cells. Cultured human neuroblastoma cell lines were used to evaluate the efficiency of siRNA delivery.

resultsThe size of liposomes prepared by DAC ranged from 190 to 240 nm; siRNA encapsulation efficiency was up to 50%. An average of 70 and 100 molecules of anti-GD2 antibody per particle were coupled. A significant association of liposomes with neuroblastoma cells as well as effective siRNA delivery was observed only when anti-GD2 antibody was coupled. Preliminary data suggest delivery of siRNA using anti-GD2-liposomes occurs via GD2-mediated endocytosis. Vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGF-A) was down-regulated using siRNA delivered by anti-GD2-liposomes.

conclusionsDAC and SPIT allow for the straightforward preparation of liposomes for the targeted delivery of siRNA. Anti-GD2-liposomes thus produced can serve as versatile carriers of siRNA to neuroblastoma cells.
