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

Small interfering RNA (siRNA), consisting a 21-mer duplex molecule, is often modified by conjugation with specific ligands to enhance its capacity for tissue-specific delivery. However, these attempts are hampered by the low permeability of negatively charged RNA molecules to enter the cell membrane. In this study, we designed and synthesized siRNA conjugates modified with cationic oligospermine and cyclic RGD (cRGD) to overcome the low-membrane permeability of siRNA. The siRNA conjugate, which contains 15 spermines and a cRGD peptide, showed sufficient gene-silencing activity at 250 nM final concentration without a transfection reagent. Under these conditions, the cationic oligospermine and cRGD-siRNA conjugate did not show any cytotoxicity.
