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

The enzyme steroid type II 5-alpha-reductase (SRD5α2) is responsible for the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT), which is involved in prostate cancer, benign prostatic hyperplasia, and androgenic alopecia. Inhibition of SRD5α2 activity has been explored and presented as a potential treatment for these conditions, but current drugs have side effects and alternative treatment approaches are needed. The CRISPR/Cas9 system, an innovative gene-editing tool, shows potential for targeting the SRD5α2 gene knockout as a therapeutic approach. Liposomes have been used for the immobilization and delivery of different proteins, and studies have shown that liposomes can enhance the stability and activity of enzymes. In this study, we provided the immobilization of Cas9 protein by encapsulating it in a novel cationic liposome formulation that carries sgRNA on its outer surface for gene delivery approaches. This novel delivery system has shown promising results in terms of physicochemical properties, stability, cytotoxicity,
