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 promising approach in cancer treatment; however, current methods have a number of limitations mainly due to the difficulty in delivering therapeutic nucleic acids to their sites of action. The application of non-viral carriers based on nanomaterials aims at protecting genetic material from degradation and enabling its effective intracellular transport. We proposed the use of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) surface-modified with carbosilane dendrons as carriers of anticancer siRNA (siBcl-xl). Using gel electrophoresis, zeta potential and hydrodynamic diameter measurements, as well as transmission electron microscopy, we characterized AgNP:siRNA complexes and demonstrated the stability of nucleic acid in complexes in the presence of RNase. Hemolytic properties of free silver nanoparticles and complexes, their effect on lymphocyte proliferation and cytotoxic activity on HeLa cells were also examined. Confocal microscopy proved the effective cellular uptake of complexes, indicating the possible use of this type of silver nanoparticles as carriers of genetic material in gene therapy.
