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

Nucleic acid-based therapeutics, which involve the manipulation of genetic materials to treat or prevent diseases, have gained considerable attention, leading to the approval of medicines such as COVID-19 vaccines, patisiran (Onpattro), and nusinersen (Spinraza). However, their clinical application is hindered by challenges such as nuclease degradation, poor biodistribution, limited cellular uptake, and inefficient endosomal escape. Extracellular vesicles (EVs), which are natural nanoscale drug delivery systems derived from various eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells, offer a safe, efficient, specifically targeted, and non-pathogenic method for nucleic acid delivery. In this review, we summarize the classical methods and the latest research advances in EV preparation and nucleic acid loading. Additionally, we review the primary administration routes for nucleic acid-loaded EVs, such as intravenous, local, oral, intranasal, and inhalation delivery. By addressing these aspects, this review aims to guide the optimal design and clinical application of nucleic acid-loaded EVs.
