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

The advent of mRNA vaccines represents a breakthrough in the realm of cancer therapy and the prevention of infectious disease. Nevertheless, traditional lipid nanoparticle (LNP)-based mRNA vaccines can accumulate in the liver post-intramuscular injection, posing a risk of hepatotoxicity and reducing efficacy. Here we develop an albumin-recruiting LNP system with high lymphatic drainage and no accumulation in hepatic tissue to potentiate the efficacy and safety of mRNA vaccines. We construct a library of ionizable lipids with albumin-binding capacity as alternatives to traditional polyethylene-glycol-conjugated lipid. We identify an Evans blue-modified lipid-based LNP (EB-LNP) formulation that shows high in vivo expression, albumin-facilitated transport through intramuscular lymphatic vessels to the lymph nodes, high internalization by dendritic cells and low penetration into intramuscular blood vessels, thereby avoiding liver accumulation. EB-LNP-based mRNA vaccines demonstrate excellent antitumour and antiviral efficacy, resulting in strong cellular and humoral immune responses, including the robust activation of cytotoxic T lymphocytes and production of neutralizing antibodies post-vaccination. Overall, this system shows promise as an effective and minimally toxic platform for the development of mRNA vaccines with high efficacy and safety.
