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 technique of targeted expression of interesting genes, including distinct delivery systems and specific gene promoter-operating expression, is an important strategy for gene therapy against cancers. Up to now, extensive literature documented the efficacy of distinct delivery systems, such as the liposome system, nano-particle system, polyetherimide (PEI) system, and so on, in cancer gene therapy. However, a related document on the potential value of using a specific gene promoter, such as a tumor suppressor, in cancer gene therapy was still scary. The main obstacle might be that the selection of an ideal gene promoter to operate interesting gene expression in cancer gene therapy is still not fully understood. Therefore, many efforts need to be done in order to make it a real power tool for the human clinical treatment of cancer patients. The purpose of this review is to clarify the current state and some problematics in development of promoter-operating targeted expression of interesting genes and highlight its potential in cancer gene therapy.
