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

The use of exogenous proteins as intracellular probes and therapeutic agents is in its infancy. A major hurdle has been the delivery of native proteins to an intracellular site of action. Herein, we report on a compact delivery vehicle that employs the intrinsic affinity of boronic acids for the carbohydrates that coat the surface of mammalian cells. In the vehicle, benzoxaborole is linked to protein amino groups via a "trimethyl lock." Immolation of this linker is triggered by cellular esterases, releasing native protein. Efficacy is demonstrated by enhanced delivery of green fluorescent protein and a cytotoxic ribonuclease into mammalian cells. This versatile strategy provides new opportunities in chemical biology and pharmacology.
