Article in Cellular and molecular bioengineering, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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.
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
Purpose: Myosteatosis and muscle atrophy are key pathological features of skeletal muscle degeneration in chronic injuries, degenerative myopathies, and aging. While recombinant WNT7A has shown promise in stimulating muscle hypertrophy and reducing fatty infiltration, its clinical translation is limited by challenges in delivery, scalability, and cost. The objective of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of lipid nanoparticle (LNP)-mediated mRNA delivery of WNT7A (W7a-LNP) as an alternative strategy for mitigating muscle degeneration. Methods: W7a-LNP efficacy was assessed Results: W7a-LNP inhibited adipogenesis and increased myofiber size Conclusions: These findings provide proof-of-concept that W7a-LNP enhances myofiber hypertrophy and modulates fatty infiltration, supporting mRNA LNP technology as a scalable and localized alternative to recombinant protein therapy for combating muscle degeneration. Further optimization of dose, delivery frequency, and biodistribution will be critical for clinical translation.
