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

Specific and effective delivery of drugs and genes to cancer cells are the major issues in successful cancer treatment. Recently, targeted cancer gene therapy has been emerged as a main technology for the treatment of different types of cancers. Among various synthetic carriers, polyethylenimine is one of the most well-known polymers for gene delivery. In this study, we conjugated phage-derived peptide (DMPGTVLP) to polyethylenimine (10 kDa) via disulfide bonds for targeted gene delivery into breast adenocarcinoma cells (MCF-7). As negative-control cells, we used non-related hepatocellular carcinoma cells (HepG2). Peptide-conjugated polyplex exhibited low cytotoxicity and significantly increased the transfection efficiency in comparison with unmodified polyethylenimine. Therefore, the peptide-modified vector can be used as a good targeting agent for gene or drug delivery into breast adenocarcinoma cells.
