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

mRNA lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) are a powerful technology that are actively being investigated for their ability to prevent, treat, and study disease. However, a major limitation remains: achieving extrahepatic mRNA expression. The development of new carriers could enable the expression of mRNA in non-liver targets, thus expanding the utility of mRNA-based medicines. In this study, we use a combination of chemoinformatic-guided material synthesis and design of experiment optimization for the development of a spleen-expressing lipid nanoparticle (SE-LNP). We begin with the synthesis of a novel cholesterol derivative followed by SE-LNP formulation and design of experiment-guided optimization to identify three lead SE-LNPs. We then evaluate their
