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

backgroundCorneal graft rejection is the major cause of corneal failures. Previous studies have shown that the CD25 monoclonal antibody can inhibit corneal graft rejection during the acute phase of rejection in rat models. In the current study, we evaluated the safety and efficacy of the topical Entranster™ vector in rat corneal applications and further investigated the effects of CD25siRNA gene transfer on high-risk rat corneal graft rejection.

methodsFluorescence detection, clinical assessment, hematoxylin and eosin (HE), terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase biotin-dUTP nick end labelling (TUNEL) and CD11b assays were used to evaluate the safety and efficacy of CD25siRNA gene transfer in normal SD rat corneas. Orthotopic corneal transplants were performed in alkali burned SD rats. Corneal recipients were divided into four groups that received different treatments. Clinical assessment, western blotting, quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR), immunohistochemistry, HE and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) were performed on all grafts.

resultsLow toxicity, no immunogenicity and high transfection efficiency were observed in rat corneas treated with the Entranster™ vector. Reduced endothelial cell apoptosis, inflammatory cell infiltration and graft neovascularisation were observed in the CD25siRNA treatment groups. The graft survival curves showed that CD25siRNA treatment significantly prolonged graft survival time, with better graft transparency and less graft oedema. Lower CD25 and higher IL-10 expression were detected in the CD25siRNA treatment groups during the study period, and a higher FOXP3 level was found in the CD25siRNA group than in the CD25siRNA-twice group on days 14 and 21 post-operation.

conclusionsThe Entranster™ vector is an effective vector for corneal gene therapy. CD25 siRNA gene transfer inhibits corneal graft rejection via upregulation of anti-inflammatory molecule expression.
