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

Peptide nucleic acids (PNAs) have emerged as one of the most versatile tools with a wide range of biomedical applications including antisense, antimiR, antigene, as well as site-specific gene editing. The application and potential of PNAs has been limited due to low solubility and poor cellular uptake. Several strategies have been employed to overcome the aforementioned challenges like conjugation to cationic peptides or nanotechnology to achieve superior transfection efficiency ex vivo and in vivo. Here, we report a detailed procedure optimized in our lab for synthesis of short cationic PNA probes, which exhibit high purity and yield in comparison to full-length PNA oligomers. We also provide step-by-step details of encapsulating short cationic PNA probes in poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) nanoparticles by double emulsion solvent evaporation technique. 1.Detailed procedure for synthesis of short cationic PNAs with or without fluorophore (dye) conjugation while ensuring high yield and purity.2.Step-by-step details for encapsulation of short cationic PNAs in PLGA nanoparticles via double emulsion solvent evaporation technique.
