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

Rapid advances in cancer gene therapy are driven by an explosive development of gene transfer technology and a strong demand for seeking alternatives to unsatisfactory conventional cancer therapies. Discovery of the genetic basis of cancer has indicated that cancer is a disease of genes. Among a variety of approaches to gene therapy of cancer, antisense oncogene and tumor suppressor gene therapy of cancer are the two strategies that aim at correcting genetic disorders of cancer through suppression of the abnormal expression of the proliferative genes. The potential effectiveness of these approaches is promised by their precise targeting at the mechanisms of the disease. Examples of several preclinical studies of these types of approaches that led to the approval of clinical trials are reviewed. Limitation and future development of these approaches are also discussed.
