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

Transcribing exogenous RNA in eukaryotic cells requires delivering DNA to their nuclei and changing their genome. Nuclear delivery is often inefficient, limiting the potential scope of gene therapy and synthetic biology. These challenges may be overcome by techniques that allow for extranucleate transcription within eukaryotic cells. Protocells have been developed that enable transcription inside of liposomes; however, it has not yet been demonstrated whether this technology can be extended for use within eukaryotic cells. Here we show RNA-synthesizing nanoliposomes allow transcription of exogenous RNA inside anucleate cells. To accomplish this, components of transcription were encapsulated into liposomes and delivered to platelets. These liposomes were capable of light-induced transcription in platelets, providing proof-of-concept that protocell technology can be adapted for use within mammalian cells.
