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

Liver cancer is a leading cause of cancer death. Most patients are treated by arterial injection of chemoembolizing agents, providing a convenient avenue for local treatment by novel therapies, including gene therapy. Poly(beta-amino ester)s (PBAEs) were synthesized and used to form nanoparticles for non-viral transfection of buffalo rat hepatoma (MCA-RH7777) and hepatocyte (BRL-3A) lines with eGFP and luciferase DNA. Hepatoma cells were transfected with up to (98 ± 0.4)% efficacy with no measurable cytotoxicity. Hepatocytes were transfected with as high as (73 ± 0.4)% efficacy with (10 ± 4)% non-specific cytotoxicity. In contrast, positive controls (branched polyethylenimine, Lipofectamine™ 2000, and X-tremeGENE(®) DNA HP) caused 30-90% toxicity in BRL-3A cells at doses required for >50% transfection. Of the 21 optimized PBAE-DNA formulations tested, 12 showed significant specificity for hepatoma cells over hepatocytes in monoculture (p < 0.05 for both percentage transfected and eGFP expression intensity). Top polymers from eGFP studies also delivered luciferase DNA with 220 ± 30-fold and 470 ± 30-fold greater specificity for hepatoma cells than hepatocytes. Transfections of co-cultures of hepatoma and hepatocytes with eGFP DNA also showed high specificity (1.9 ± 0.1- to 5.8± 1.4-fold more transfected hepatoma cells than hepatocytes, measured by percentage transfected and flow cytometry). By eGFP intensity, up to 530 ±60-fold higher average expression per cell was measured in hepatoma cells. One top formulation caused (95 ± 0.2)% transfection in hepatoma cells and (27 ± 0.2)% in hepatocytes [(96 ± 9)% relative hepatocyte viability]. PBAE-based nanoparticles are a viable strategy for liver cancer treatment, delivering genes to nearly 100% of cancer cells while maintaining high biomaterial-mediated specificity to prevent toxic side-effects on healthy hepatocytes.
