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

Gene therapy is a prospective strategy for treating cancer. However, finding efficient and tumor-specific gene delivery vectors remains an issue. Tumor responsive cell-penetrating peptide (CPP) PepFect144 (PF144) has previously been shown to deliver reporter gene encoding plasmid DNA specifically into tumors upon systemic administration, but its capability to reduce tumor growth has not yet been evaluated. Here, we study the potential of PF144-based anti-angiogenic gene delivery to inhibit tumor growth by silencing vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) expression in tumors. This approach led to the inhibition of tumor growth in both the HT1080 fibrosarcoma model and orthotopic 4T1 breast tumor model. We additionally saw that the addition of αvβ3 integrin targeting did not further improve the tumor sensitive CPPs. Our results suggest that activatable cell-penetrating peptide PF144 is a promising nonviral plasmid DNA delivery vector for cancer treatment.
