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

Nucleic acids show immense potential to treat cancer, acquired immune deficiency syndrome, neurological diseases and other incurable human diseases. Upon systemic administration, they encounter a series of barriers and hence barely reach the site of action, the cell. Intracellular delivery of nucleic acids is facilitated by nanovectors, both viral and non-viral. A major advantage of non-viral vectors over viral vectors is safety. Nanovectors evaluated specifically for nucleic acid delivery include polyplexes, lipoplexes and other cationic carrier-based vectors. However, more recently there is an increased interest in inorganic nanovectors for nucleic acid delivery. Nevertheless, there is no comprehensive review on the subject. The present review would cover in detail specific properties and types of inorganic nanovectors, their preparation techniques and various biomedical applications as therapeutics, diagnostics and theranostics. Future prospects are also suggested.
