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

Survivin, a pivotal member of the inhibitor of apoptosis proteins (IAP) family, plays critical roles in cell cycle regulation and division. Survivin is overexpressed in most malignancies, making it an attractive therapeutic target. Due to its high specificity and potency, siRNA-based RNA interference (RNAi) has emerged as a powerful therapeutic strategy for effectively downregulating disease-related genes such as survivin in cancer therapy. However, naked siRNA suffers from rapid enzymatic degradation, poor cellular uptake, and off-target effects, severely limiting its therapeutic efficacy in vivo. Development of polymer-based nanocarriers for tumor-targeted delivery of survivin siRNA (siSurvivin) holds great potential to address these challenges. In this review, we first described the structure and function of survivin and summarized the survivin-targeted therapeutic strategy. Then, the siRNA delivery systems, particularly the polymeric nanocarriers, were introduced. Furthermore, a plethora of polymer-based nanocarriers for tumor-targeted siSurvivin delivery, including synthetic polymers (branched polymers, dendritic polymers, polymeric micelles), natural polymers (polysaccharides, proteins, and others), lipid-polymer hybrid nanoparticles, and polymer composite nanoparticles, were elaborated. Promising results underscore the potential of polymer-based nanocarriers for survivin siRNA delivery to enhance cancer therapy, providing a roadmap for future clinical translation.
