Liposome-Protamine-DNA Nanoparticle-Mediated Delivery of Short Hairpin RNA Targeting Brachyury Inhibits Chordoma Cell Growth.
Article in Journal of biomedical nanotechnology, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Recent evidence suggests that brachyury is a crucial molecular driver in the initiation and propagation of chordoma. However, no small molecules have been used to specifically target brachyury. Short hairpin RNA (shRNA) has therapeutic promise for the genetic treatment of cancer, but the usage of shRNA therapeutics is limited by obstacles related to effective delivery into the nuclei of target cancer cells due to their inherent sensitivity to nucleases and large polyanionic characteristics. To overcome instability and low transfection efficiency, liposome-protamine-DNA (LPD) nanoparticles were synthesized and investigated as a non-viral carrier of shRNA targeting brachyury in chordoma cells. The size, zeta potential, affinity and transfection efficiency of LPD-shRNA complexes were characterized, and their biological functions in chordoma cells were evaluated. The transfection efficiency of LPD-shRNA was significant higher than naked shRNA. LPD delivered brachyury shRNA into chordoma cells and inhibited brachyury expression, induced apoptosis, upregulated the epithelial biomarker, E-cadherin, downregulated the mesenchymal biomarker, Snail and Slug, and suppressed cell growth. These data indicate that LPD might be a promising non-viral carrier for shRNA in gene targeted therapy of chordoma.
