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

Uveal melanoma (UM) is rare yet the most common and malignant primary intraocular tumor in adults. Due to the lack of effective treatment, the mortality rate of UM has remained high over the past few decades. In the present study, hyaluronic acid (HA) coated chitosan (Chi)/siRNA ternary complexes have been developed and characterized as a novel therapeutic strategy molecularly targeting hypoxia-inducible factor 1α (HIF-1α) pathway for the treatment of UM. The cytotoxicity, cellular uptake, and siRNA silencing effect of the developed siRNA complexes were evaluated. In addition, whether the developed ternary complexes can inhibit UM migration and invasion was investigated. Results showed that the developed ternary siRNA complexes were negatively charged and with a particle size below 190 nm. The ternary siRNA complexes showed excellent cellular uptake and lysosome escape ability with low cytotoxicity. In addition, the ternary complexes were able to downregulate both HIF-1α and VEGF expression in UM cells, and successfully inhibit UM migration and invasion. These results demonstrated that the biocompatible ternary siRNA complexes are promising for local treatment of UM in the posterior segment with future clinical application potential.
