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

Hair cells in the cochlea can be damaged by various insults, including noise, drugs, infections and presbycusis, which may cause sensorineural hearing loss. Gene therapy is a novel therapeutic technology that, recently, has led to the idea of treating inner ear diseases on a genetic level. Depending on their characteristics, such as a high efficiency in delivery, the capability of specific targeting, multifunctionality, biodegradability, non-toxicity, non-immunogenicity and the capability of limiting DNA degradation, nanovectors, such as polyamidoamine (PAMAM) dendrimers for cellular gene delivery, provide a promising approach to eradicate genetic diseases. They are a new class of highly branched spherical polymers that are highly soluble in aqueous solution. Their unique surface is composed of positively charged primary amine groups which allow them to form stable complexes with plasmid DNA, oligonucleotides, antibodies and drugs. This review provides an overview of the characteristics of PAMAMs which may be used in gene transfer into the cochlea as well as the efforts to improve their transfection efficiency as gene-delivery carriers.
