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

Advances in gene therapy have been foreshadowing its potential for the treatment of a vast range of diseases involving genetic malfunctioning. However, its therapeutic efficiency and successful outcome are highly dependent on the development of the ideal gene delivery system. On that matter, silica-based vectors have diverted some attention from viral and other types of non-viral vectors due to their increased safety, easily modifiable structure and surface, high stability, and cost-effectiveness. The versatility of silane chemistry and the combination of silica with other materials, such as polymers, lipids, or inorganic particles, has resulted in the development of carriers with great loading capacities, ability to effectively protect and bind genetic material, targeted delivery, and stimuli-responsive release of cargos. Promising results have been obtained both in vitro and in vivo using these nanosystems as multifunctional platforms in different potential therapeutic areas, such as cancer or brain therapies, sometimes combined with imaging functions. Herein, the current advances in silica-based systems designed for gene therapy are reviewed, including their main properties, fabrication methods, surface modifications, and potential therapeutic applications.
