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

In part I of this review, the authors showed how poly(amidoamine) (PAMAM)-based dendrimers can be considered as promising delivering platforms for siRNA therapeutics. This is by virtue of their precise and unique multivalent molecular architecture, characterized by uniform branching units and a plethora of surface groups amenable to effective siRNA binding and delivery to e.g., cancer cells. However, the successful clinical translation of dendrimer-based nanovectors requires considerable amounts of good manufacturing practice (GMP) compounds in order to conform to the guidelines recommended by the relevant authorizing agencies. Large-scale GMP-standard high-generation dendrimer production is technically very challenging. Therefore, in this second part of the review, the authors present the development of PAMAM-based amphiphilic dendrons, that are able to auto-organize themselves into nanosized micelles which ultimately outperform their covalent dendrimer counterparts in in vitro and in vivo gene silencing.
