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

This study describes the synthesis, interaction with DNA, and transfection efficacy of eight lipidated compounds based on a recently published non-lipidated parent molecule, an octamer of 2,3-l-Dap, carrying the guanidine group on its side chain. The compounds obtained were found to be non-toxic up to 5 µM and efficient DNA binders and showed greater transfection efficiency than the parent compound, with two leading molecules containing acetic and decanoic moieties. DLS experiments indicated two groups of interaction with DNA. One group modified by short-chain lipids (up to eight carbon atoms in the main chain) forms large structures due to the aggregation of multiple nucleic acids. The second group (from twelve to sixteen carbon atoms) with dominant condensation creates smaller forms and is less effective in transporting DNA into the cells.
