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

Convenient methods for the preparation of gene delivery platforms based on branched low molecular weight polyethylenimine (PEI) were described. Firstly, PEI lipids, with a low molecular weight PEI headgroup and hexadecyl chain tail group, were prepared through a highly efficient ring-opening reaction of glycidyl hexadecyl ether (EpoxyC16) by amine from PEI. Then, the PEI lipids were used as a component of cationic liposomes and as a surfactant for the preparation of poly(D,L-lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) nanoparticle (NP) via solvent extraction/evaporation method. As potential effective gene delivery platforms, their preparation, size, size distribution, toxicities, plasmid DNA loading, in vitro transfection and intracellular trafficking were studied. Both facile platforms showed less toxicity and higher transfection efficacy when compared to high molecular weight PEI in vitro, and may have further versatile applications in the gene delivery field.
