An Effective Cationic Human Serum Albumin-Based Gene-Delivery Carrier Containing the Nuclear Localization Signal.
Article in Pharmaceutics, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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.
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
Considerable effort has been devoted to the development of gene carriers over the years. However, toxicity, immunogenicity, and low transfection efficiency are still major barriers. How to overcome these obstacles has become a burning question in gene delivery. In the present study, a simple cationic human serum albumin (CHSA)-based gene-delivery system containing nuclear localization signals (NLSs) was constructed to conquer the limitations. CHSA/NLS/plasmid DNA (pDNA) complexes were prepared and characterized by Hoechst 33258 intercalation, gel retardation assay, morphological analysis, circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy, particle size, and zeta potential measurements. Results showed that CHSA/NLS/pDNA complexes were able to condense and protect pDNA with high encapsulation efficiency. The complexes displayed a nutritional effect on cells at a low concentration and there was no significant cytotoxicity or immunogenicity. In addition, CHSA/NLS/pDNA complexes exhibited excellent cellular uptake rates and the mechanism was mainly the clathrin or macropinocytosis-dependent endocytosis pathway. Furthermore, CHSA/NLS/pDNA significantly enhanced gene expression efficiency in vitro. More importantly, CHSA/NLS/pDNA complexes showed a desired antitumor effect in vivo, exhibiting the highest inhibition rate (57.3%) and significant upregulation in p53 protein. All these results confirm that CHSA/NLS/pDNA complexes have a bright future as a safe and effective delivery system for gene therapy.
