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

Spermines are naturally abundant polyamines that partially condense nucleic acids and exhibit the proton-sponge effect in an acidic environment. However, spermines show a limited efficiency for transfecting nucleic acids because of their low molecular weight. Therefore, spermines need to be modified to be used as nonviral vectors for nucleic acids. Here, we synthesized linear bisspermine as well as a linear and dendritic tetraspermine with different molecular architectures. These oligospermines were self-assembled into polyplexes with siRNA. The structure-activity relationship of the oligospermines was evaluated in terms of their efficiency for delivering siRNA into a nonsmall cell lung carcinoma cell line. Oligospermines displayed minimal cytotoxicity but efficient siRNA condensation and showed better stability against polyanions than polyethylenimine. The morphology of the polyplexes was strongly affected by the oligospermine architecture. Linear tetraspermine/siRNA polyplexes showed the best gene-silencing efficiency among the oligospermines tested at both the mRNA and protein expression levels, indicating the most favorable structure for siRNA delivery.
