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.
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
The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficiency of a targeted siRNA nano-delivery system to silence the expression of Bmi-1 and hTERT, and to verify the toxicity of this delivery system in MCF-7 breast cancer cells. The most effective Bmi-1 siRNA and hTERT siRNA sequences were selected using RT-PCR and Western blotting. The polyethyleneimine (PEI)/siRNA nano-condensate was synthesized using PEI and modified using an NGR peptide fragment for targeting to tumor cells. The vector morphology, particle size and zeta potential were observed using an atomic force microscope and a laser particle size analyzer. The MCF-7 breast cancer cell line was transfected with the vector, and cytotoxicity was tested by MTT assays. The transfection efficiency was evaluated by qRT-PCR and Western blotting. Changes in gene expression and apoptosis rate were measured by flow cytometry. The size of LPN carrier and the condensate particle was between 100 and 200 nm and the potentials were close to neutral. There was maximum transfection efficiency and no significant increase in toxicity at 15 pmol/L. Bmi-1 and hTERT expression decreased, but the inhibition rate increased in the hTERT siRNA group, the hTERT+Bmi-1 siRNA group and the hTERT+Bmi-1 siRNA group compared with the scrambled siRNA group and the control group. Moreover, the hTERT+Bmi-1 siRNA group had the highest level of gene silencing. The complex, composed of Lipo, PEI and siRNA, is low toxicity and efficient transfection vectors. The expression level of Bmi-1 and hTERT was decreased by the gene silencing of either Bmi-1 or hTERT, but the effects were more significant when both were silenced simultaneously.
