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

Efficient delivery of mRNA-lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) to specific cell types remains a major challenge for mRNA therapeutics. Conventional targeting approaches involve modifying the lipid composition or functionalizing the surface of LNPs, which complicates manufacturing and alters nanoparticle size, charge, and stealth, impacting their delivery and immunogenicity. Here, we present a generalizable method for targeted mRNA-LNP delivery that uses bispecific antibodies (BsAbs) to form a bridge between LNPs and cell surface markers. BsAbs can be combined with LNPs or administered first, binding to surface proteins on target cells and later retaining unmodified LNPs in affected tissues. We demonstrate the efficient and cell-type-specific delivery of mRNA-LNPs beyond the liver, targeting epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)- and folate hydrolase 1 (PSMA)-positive cells
