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

Multiple limitations for cardiac pharmacologic therapies like intolerance, individual variation in effectiveness, side effects, and high cost still remain, despite the recent progress in diagnosis and health support. Gene therapy is poised to be an attractive alternative in various ways for the future, refractory cardiac diseases being one aspect of it. As a novel therapy to deliver the objective gene to organs of living animals, ultrasound targeted microbubble destruction (UTMD) has therapeutic potential in cardiovascular disorders. UTMD, which binds microbubbles with DNA or RNA carriers into the shell and destroys the located microbubbles with low frequency and high mechanical index ultrasound can release target agents to specific organs. UTMD has the ability to transfect markedly through sonoporation, cavitation and other effects by way of intravenous injection that is minimally invasive and highly specific for gene deliverance. Here, we have summarized the present role of UTMD in pre-clinical studies of cardiac gene therapy which covers myocardial infarction, regeneration, ischaemia/reperfusion injury, hypertension, diabetic cardiomyopathy, adriamycin cardiomyopathy and some discussion for further studies.
