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

Combined chemo-gene therapy is one of the treatment modalities that have attracted extensive research interests; however, there is little information regarding the influence of drug application on gene transfer. This study bridges this gap by examining how chemotherapeutic drugs (teniposide, cis-diamminedichloroplatinum(II) and temozolomide) interfere with polyplex formation and transfection of chitosan-graft-poly(ethylenimine). Our results indicate that the degree of drug interference varies with the mechanism of drug action, with the transgene expression being severely suppressed when the plasmid is co-delivered with cis-diamminedichloroplatinum(II) or teniposide but not temozolomide. In addition, the interference with transfection by drugs varies with different gene/drug co-formulations. This is the first study to evidence that, though combined chemo-gene therapy has therapeutic potential, some chemotherapeutic drugs may reduce the treatment efficiency of gene therapy.
