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

Current treatments for glomerulonephritis are not satisfactory, and the development of new therapies would be indispensable. Short interfering RNAs (siRNAs) are promising candidates for molecular therapy because of their strong and specific gene-silencing effects. Despite rapid progress in research into the therapeutic uses of siRNAs, however, many hurdles must be overcome before siRNA-based therapies can be brought to the clinic. Most in vivo studies of siRNA-based therapy have been limited to local administration or delivery to specific target organs, including the liver. Therapies based on siRNAs for patients with glomerulonephritis show promise, although tissue-specific protocols using siRNAs have not yet been established for this indication. This Review aims to provide an overview of the current challenges in siRNA-based therapy, primarily with respect to glomerular targeting. In addition, novel delivery approaches for glomerulus-targeted, siRNA-based therapies are described.
