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

1. Ribozymes can be designed to cleave in trans, i.e. several substrate molecules can be turned over by one molecule of the catalytic RNA. Only small molecular weight ribozymes, or small ribozymes, are discussed in this review with particular emphasis on the hammerhead ribozyme as this has been most widely used for the inhibition of gene expression by cleavage of mRNAs. 2. Cellular delivery of the ribozyme is of crucial importance for the success of inhibition of gene expression by this methodology. Two modes of delivery can be envisaged, endogenous and exogenous delivery. Of the former several variants exist, depending on the vector used. The latter is still in its infancy, even though chemical modification has rendered such ribozymes resistant against degradation by serum nucleases without impairment of catalytic efficiency. 3. Various successful applications of ribozymes for the inhibition of gene expression are discussed, with particular emphasis on HIV1 and cancer targets. These examples demonstrate the promise of this methodology.
