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

introductionβ-lactamase (LACTB) is a tumor suppressor gene in various tumors including melanoma. However, it remains challenging to efficiently deliver the LACTB gene into melanoma. Recently, we designed a nonviral nanocarrier iRGD/DOTAP/MPEG-PDLLA (iDPP) that could deliver gene targetedly to melanoma efficiently without obvious adverse effects.

methodsIn this study, the tumor-targeted nanoparticle iDPP was prepared to deliver LACTB gene to treat melanoma in vitro and in vivo. First, the expression level of LACTB in 6 clinical specimens of melanoma patients was evaluated. Subsequently, the characteristics of iDPP/

resultsCompared with the normal epithelium, the expression level of LACTB in melanoma tissues was significantly downregulated. In vitro B16-F10 cell tests showed iDPP/

conclusionThe downregulated LACTB might be a potential target for melanoma therapy. The iDPP/
