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

Ovarian cancer (OC) in which carbonyl reductase 1 (CBR1) is highly expressed has good prognosis. The aims of this study were to determine the optimal conditions for delivering CBR1 DNA to OC cells via a polyamidoamine (PAMAM) dendrimer and to examine the therapeutic effectiveness of using a CBR1/PAMAM dendrimer to treat OC. The ratio for mixture of the PAMAM dendrimer and CBR1 plasmid DNA was defined as the ratio of the number of moles of phosphate groups in plasmid DNA to the number of moles of amino groups in PAMAM, which was expressed as N/P ratio. Mice were intraperitoneally injected with OC cells (HRA) to create peritoneal carcinomatosis. CBR1 DNA/PAMAM dendrimer complexes were administered on alternate days after injection of HRA cells. Cells transfected with CBR1 DNA at N/P ratio of 20:1 for 48 h produced the highest level of CBR1 expression. All the mice in control group died prior to day 25. However, all the mice administered the CBR1 DNA/PAMAM dendrimer survived (P<0.001). Use of a PAMAM dendrimer allowed CBR1 DNA to be delivered to cancer cells. The results suggested that CBR1 DNA/PAMAM dendrimer complexes may represent a potent gene therapy for the treatment of advanced OC.
