Aerosolized Non-viral Nucleic Acid Delivery in the Vaginal Tract of Pigs.
Article in Pharmaceutical research, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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
purposeThe human pathogen Chlamydia trachomatis is worldwide the leading cause of bacterial sexually transmitted disease. Nasal or vaginal nucleic acid vaccination is a promising strategy for controlling genital Chlamydia trachomatis infections. Since naked nucleic acids are generally not efficiently taken up by cells, they are often complexed with carriers that facilitate their intracellular delivery.
methodsIn the current study, we screened a variety of commonly used non-viral gene delivery carriers for their ability to transfect newborn pig tracheal cells. The effect of aerosolization on the physicochemical properties and transfection efficiency of the complexes was also evaluated in vitro. Subsequently, a pilot experiment was performed in which the selected complexes were aerosolized in the vaginal tract of pigs.
resultsBoth mRNA and pDNA containing lipofectamine and ADM70 complexes showed promise for protein expression in vitro, before and after aerosolization. In vivo, only lipofectamine/pDNA complexes resulted in high protein expression levels 24 h following aerosolization. This correlates to the unexpected observation that the presence of vaginal mucus increases the efficiency of lipofectamine/pDNA complexes 3-fold, while the efficiency of lipofectamine/mRNA complexes and ADM70/mRNA and ADM70/pDNA complexes decreased.
conclusionsAs aerosolization was an easy and effective method to deliver complexes to the vaginal tract of pigs, we believe this application technique has future potential for both vaginal and perhaps nasal vaccination using non-viral gene delivery vectors.
