Augmentation of transgenic expression by ultrasound‑mediated liposome microbubble destruction.
Article in Molecular medicine reports, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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
Non-invasive, efficient and tissue-specific transgenic technologies could be valuable in gene therapy. Although non-viral carriers may be safer and cheaper, they have a much lower transfection efficiency than viral gene carriers. The present study was designed to test the transgenic expression and safety of red fluorescent protein (RFP) in HeLa cells in vitro and in transplanted tumors of nude mice in vivo under ultrasound-mediated liposome microbubble destruction (UMLMD) conditions. Plasmids containing RFP were gently mixed with liposome microbubbles (LMs). The mixture was added to HeLa cells or injected into BALB/c mice by the tail vein under various ultrasound exposure and LM parameters, and then the transfection efficiencies were examined. The results in vivo and in vitro demonstrated that, following a comparison of the plasmid group, the ultrasound + plasmid group and the LM + plasmid group, UMLMD significantly increased the transgenic expression (P<0.01) without causing any apparent detrimental effect. From the study, we concluded that UMLMD could be a non-invasive, effective and promising non-viral technique for gene therapy and transgenic research.
