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

Gene therapy holds great promise for the treatment of diseases. The key problem of gene therapy is the choice of an effective vector. Ultrasound-mediated microbubble technique (UMMT) has already shown promising applications in numerous types of tumors apart from cervical carcinoma. In the present study, according to the results of an MTT assay, we initially chose an ultrasound intensity of 0.5 W/cm(2), an ultrasound exposure time of 30 sec and a microbubble concentration of 10% as the optimum experimental condition for wtp53 plasmid transfection into HeLa cells. To further investigate the transfection efficiency of ultrasound combined with microbubbles, RT-PCR analysis was used to examine the mRNA level of p53. The transfection efficiency in the plasmid plus microbubbles and ultrasound group was significantly higher than that of the other groups. Following transfection of the wtp53 gene, flow cytometric analysis showed that the cell cycle of HeLa cells was arrested in the G1 phase. The results of the present study suggest that UMMT, a new gene delivery system, increases the transfection efficiency of the wtp53 gene. Moreover, the growth of HeLa cells was arrested by introducing wtp53. This study may afford a new trend for the gene therapy of cervical carcinoma.
