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

Angiogenesis plays an important role in tumor development and metastasis, and many cancer cells upregulate VEGF expression to promote angiogenesis. Silencing VEGF expression by RNA interference is expected to be a promising strategy to suppress the tumor growth. However, low transfection efficiency and instability are the main barriers for small interfering RNA (siRNA) delivery. In this study, we developed polycation liposome-encapsulated calcium phosphate nanoparticles (PLCP) for siRNA delivery in vivo. VEGF expression silencing effect in MCF-7 cells was investigated by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction and Western blot assay. VEGF siRNA mediated by PLCP can reduce 60%-80% VEGF expression in vitro, which was significantly higher than that mediated by Lipofectamine 2000. Furthermore, significant tumor growth and angiogenesis inhibition were observed in MCF-7 xenografts mice when treated with PLCP/VEGF siRNA or combined with doxorubicin. In conclusion, the combination of silencing VEGF expression and chemotherapeutics would be a potential treatment for cancer therapy.
