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

Nano-structured calcium phosphate (NanoCaP) particles have been proven to be a powerful means of non-viral gene delivery. In order to better understand the mechanisms through which NanoCaPs-mediated mammalian cell transfection is achieved, we have sought to define the intracellular trafficking pathways involved in the cellular uptake and intracellular processing of these particles. Previous work has indicated that NanoCaP-DNA complexes are most likely internalized via endocytosis, however the subsequent pathways involved have not been determined. Through the use of specific inhibitors, we show that endocytosis of NanoCaP particles is both clathrin- and caveolae-dependent, and suggest that the caveolaer mechanism is the major contributor. We demonstrate colocalization of NanoCaP-pDNA complexes with known markers of both clathrin-coated and caveolar vesicles. Furthermore, through the use of quantitative flow cytometry, we present the first work in which the percent internalization of CaP-DNA complexes into cells is quantified. The overall goal of this research is to foster the continued improvement of NanoCaP-based gene delivery strategies.
