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

Ultrasound (US) is an effective tool for local delivery of genes into target tumors or organs. In combination with microbubbles, US can temporarily change the permeability of cell membranes by cavitation and facilitate entry of plasmid DNA into cells. Here, we demonstrate that repeated US-mediated delivery of anti-angiogenic genes, endostatin or calreticulin, into muscle significantly inhibits the growth of orthotopic tumors in the liver, brain or lung. US-mediated anti-angiogenic gene therapy also seems to function as an adjuvant therapy that significantly enhances the antitumor effects of the chemotherapeutic drug doxorubicin and adenovirus-mediated cytokine gene therapy. Significantly higher levels of tumor apoptosis or tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes were observed after combined therapy consisting of either anti-angiogenic therapy and chemotherapy, or anti-angiogenic therapy and immunotherapy. Taken together, our experiments demonstrate that intramuscular delivery of anti-angiogenic genes by US exposure can effectively treat distant orthotopic tumors, and thus has great therapeutic potential in terms of clinical treatment.
