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

Daily insulin injection is necessary for the treatment of the insulin-dependent diabetes. However, the process is painful and inconvenient. Accordingly, we have made exploratory efforts to establish an alternative method for continuous insulin supply via intramuscular injection of a designed plasmid encoding the single-strand insulin analogue (SIA), which provides safe, effective and prolonged control of insulin-dependent diabetes. To generate a SIA, a short flexible peptide was alternatively introduced into the natural proinsulin to replace its original long and rigid C-peptide. Then, the synthetic promoter SP301 was used to drive potent and specific expression of SIA in skeletal muscle cells. By combining the Pluronic L64 and low-voltage electropulse (L/E), the specialized gene delivery technique was applied to efficiently transfer the constructed plasmid into skeletal muscle cells via intramuscular injection. Through these efforts, a plasmid-based intramuscular gene expression system was established and improved, making it applicable for gene therapy. The plasmid-expressed SIA showed biological functions that were similar to that of natural insulin. A single L/E-pSP301-SIA administration provided sustained SIA expression
