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

Non-viral gene delivery has become a popular approach in tissue engineering, as it permits the transient delivery of a therapeutic gene, in order to stimulate tissue repair. However, the efficacy of non-viral delivery vectors remains an issue. Our lab has created gene-activated scaffolds by incorporating various non-viral delivery vectors, including the glycosaminoglycan-binding enhanced transduction (GET) peptide into collagen-based scaffolds with proven osteogenic potential. A modification to the GET peptide (FLR) by substitution of arginine residues with histidine (FLH) has been designed to enhance plasmid DNA (pDNA) delivery. In this study, we complexed pDNA with combinations of FLR and FLH peptides, termed GET* nanoparticles. We sought to enhance our gene-activated scaffold platform by incorporating GET* nanoparticles into collagen-nanohydroxyapatite scaffolds with proven osteogenic capacity. GET* N/P 8 was shown to be the most effective formulation for delivery to MSCs in 2D. Furthermore, GET* N/P 8 nanoparticles incorporated into collagen-nanohydroxyapatite (coll-nHA) scaffolds at a 1:1 ratio of collagen:nanohydroxyapatite was shown to be the optimal gene-activated scaffold. pDNA encoding stromal-derived factor 1α (pSDF-1α), an angiogenic chemokine which plays a role in BMP mediated differentiation of MSCs, was then delivered to MSCs using our optimised gene-activated scaffold platform, with the aim of significantly increasing angiogenesis as an important precursor to bone repair. The GET* N/P 8 coll-nHA scaffolds successfully delivered pSDF-1α to MSCs, resulting in a significant, sustained increase in SDF-1α protein production and an enhanced angiogenic effect, a key precursor in the early stages of bone repair.
