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

aimLung cancer gene therapies require reagents to selectively transfect lung tumors after systemic administration. MATERIALS &

methodsWe created a reagent called NSCLC-NP by attaching a peptide with binding affinity for lung cancer to polyamidoamine dendrimers. The positively charged dendrimers electrostatically bind negatively charged nucleic acids, inhibit endogenous nucleases and transfect cells targeted by the attached peptide.

resultsIn vitro, NSCLC-NP complexed to DNA plasmids bound and transfected three human lung cancer cell lines producing protein expression of the plasmid's gene. In vivo, systemically administered NSCLC-NP selectively transfected lung cancer cells growing in RAG1KO mice.

conclusionThe capability of NSCLC-NP to selectively transfect lung cancer allows its future use as a vehicle to implement human lung cancer gene therapy strategies.
