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

The advancement of gene-based therapeutics to the clinic is limited by the ability to deliver physiologically relevant doses of nucleic acids to target tissues safely and effectively. Over the last couple of decades, researchers have successfully employed polymer and lipid based nanoassemblies to deliver nucleic acids for the treatment of a variety of diseases. Results of phase I/II clinical studies to evaluate the efficacy and biosafety of these gene delivery vehicles have been encouraging, which has promoted the design of more efficient and biocompatible systems. Research has focused on designing carriers to achieve biocompatibility, stability in the circulatory system, biodistribution to target the disease site, and intracellular delivery, all of which enhance the resulting therapeutic effect. The family of poly(alkylene oxide) (PAO) polymers includes random, block, and branched structures, among which the ABA type triblocks copolymers of ethylene oxide (EO) and propylene oxide (PO) (commercially known as Pluronic) have received the greatest consideration. In this Account, we highlight examples of polycation-PAO conjugates, liposome-PAO formulations, and PAO micelles for nucleic acid delivery. Among the various polymer design considerations, which include molecular weight of polymer, molecular weight of blocks, and length of blocks, the overall hydrophobic-lipophilic balance (HLB) is a critical parameter in defining the behavior of the polymer conjugates for gene delivery. We discuss the effects of varying this parameter in the context of improving gene delivery processes, such as serum stability and association with cell membranes. Other innovative macromolecular modifications discussed in this category include our work to enhance the serum stability and efficiency of lipoplexes using PAO graft copolymers, the development of a PAO gel-based carrier for sustained and stimuli responsive delivery, and the development of biodegradable PAO-based amphiphilic block copolymers.
