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

Lipid nanoparticles (LNP) have emerged at the forefront of the delivery of RNA molecules during the COVID-19 pandemic, leading to a giant leap in RNA therapies. Despite their great success, the long-term storage and transportation of mRNA vaccines without ultra-low temperatures is still challenging due to their poor stability. Here, we demonstrated that LNP-mRNA could be lyophilized via a simple freeze‒drying process. This process produced a dry powder formulation that could maintain the physicochemical properties of LNP-mRNA after storage at 4 °C for at least two months. However, the shear forces generated during the lyophilization process may disrupt the structure of the LNP, affecting the efficacy of the vaccine. Therefore, a cholesterol analogue, β-sitosterol, and a type of phospholipid, DOPE, were utilized instead of cholesterol and DSPC to improve the transfection efficiency after freeze-drying. The optimized formulation of LNP exhibited an enhanced transfection effect both
