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

objectivesA new method based on the adhesion of SonoVue to plasmids was assessed to achieve targeted gene delivery into the vascular endothelium.

methodspEGFP-Salusin-α and pcDNA3.1-Salusin-α plasmids were transfected into the arterial endothelium of different rabbit groups. Western blotting was performed to analyze the expression of EGFP and salusin-α in the common carotid arteries of rabbits from different groups, and ELISA was performed to detect plasma salusin-α levels in rabbits from each group; simultaneously, blood parameters of different groups of rabbits were measured.

resultsGreen fluorescence was observed in the right common carotid artery of rabbits transfected with pEGFP-Salusin-α, but not in the endothelial cells of not-transfected control rabbits. The expression of salusin-α in the transfected animals was higher than that in the control not-transfected animals (P < .05). In rabbits transfected with pcDNA3.1-Salusin-α plasmid, salusin-α expression was higher than in the not-transfected control animals (P < .05). However, there was no significant difference in plasma salusin-α levels between transfected animals and controls (P > .05). Blood parameters were also measured in both groups.

conclusionsOur data confirm the establishment of a new method using SonoVue for targeted gene delivery into the arterial endothelium. Our study outcomes propose a new method of intervention in atherosclerosis and a new tool for targeted gene delivery.
