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

Angiogenesis is a tightly regulated biological process by which new blood vessels are formed from pre-existing blood vessels. This process is also critical in diseases such as cancer. Therefore, angiogenesis has been explored as a drug target for cancer therapy. The future of effective anti-angiogenic therapy lies in the intelligent combination of multiple targeting agents with novel modes of delivery to maximize therapeutic effects. Therefore, a novel approach is proposed that utilizes dumbbell RNA (dbRNA) to target pathological angiogenesis by simultaneously targeting multiple molecules and processes that contribute to angiogenesis. In the present study, a plasmid expressing miR-34a-3p and -5p dbRNA (db34a) was constructed using the permuted intron-exon method. A simple protocol to purify dbRNA from bacterial culture with high purity was also developed by modification of the RNASwift method. To test the efficacy of db34a, pancreatic cancer cell lines PANC-1 and MIA PaCa-2 were used. Functional validation of the effect of db34a on angiogenesis was performed on human umbilical vein endothelial cells using a tube formation assay, in which cells transfected with db34a exhibited a significant reduction in tube formation compared with cells transfected with scrambled dbRNA. These results were further validated
