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 main obstacles to the clinical application of the CRISPR/Cas9 system are off-target effects and low delivery efficiency. There is an urgent need to develop new delivery strategies and technologies. Three types of in situ injectable hydrogels with different electrical properties were created to find the most secure and efficient sustained-release drug delivery system. After in vitro and in vivo comparisons, we found that the positively charged hydrogels had higher cellular uptake, stronger gene editing efficiency, greater cytotoxicity, longer tumor accumulation, and better anti-tumor efficacy than negatively charged and neutral hydrogels. We designed single guide RNA targeting the Y-box binding protein 1 (YB-1) gene and then used it to create a ribonucleoprotein complex with Cas9 protein. Doxorubicin was co-encapsulated into this positively charged hydrogel to create a co-delivery system. By knocking down YB-1, the expression of YB-1 was reduced, inhibiting the growth and migration of melanoma cells. The strategy of combining YB-1 gene editing and intratumoral injection enhanced the therapeutic effect of doxorubicin while reducing side effects.
