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

Allergic asthma is one of the leading chronic lung diseases of both children and adults worldwide, resulting in significant morbidity and mortality in affected individuals. Many patients have severe asthma, which is refractory to treatment, illustrating the need for the development of new therapeutics for this disease. Herein, we describe the use of a peptide cross-linked nucleic acid nanocapsule (NAN) for the delivery of a GATA3-specific DNAzyme to immune cells, with demonstration of modulated transcriptional activity and behavior of those cells. The NAN, built from peptide cross-linked surfactants, is chemically designed to degrade under inflammation conditions releasing individual DNAzyme-surfactant conjugates in response to proteolytic enzymes. Using the NAN, GATA3 DNAzymes were delivered efficiently to human peripheral blood mononuclear cells, with clear evidence of uptake by CD4+ helper T cells without the need for harsh transfection agents. Knockdown of GATA3 was achieved
