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

Oligonucleotide therapeutics, antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs) and short interfering RNA (siRNA) are short synthetic nucleic acid molecules with a promising potential to treat a wide range of diseases. Despite considerable progress in the field, the development of safe and effective delivery systems that target organs and tissues other than the liver is challenging. While keeping possible off-target oligonucleotide interactions and toxicity related to chemical modifications in mind, innovative solutions for targeted intracellular delivery are highly needed. Herein, we report on the design, synthesis and testing of a novel multi-modified and multi-functionalized heteroduplex oligonucleotide (HDO) with respect to its intracellular delivery and its ability to silence genes in HeLa cells. Simultaneously, folic acid- and peptide- labeled HDO show proficient silencing of the green fluorescent protein (GFP) gene with an 84% reduction in the GFP fluorescence. In addition, the Bcl2 HDO achieved effective Bcl2 gene knockdown in the cells. The data show the proficiency of the multi-functionalization strategy and provide an example for advancing the design of safe and efficient forthcoming oligonucleotide therapeutics, such as HDO.
