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

Nanoparticle-mediated siRNA delivery is a complex process that requires transport across numerous extracellular and intracellular barriers. As such, the development of nanoparticles for efficient delivery would benefit from an understanding of how parameters associated with these barriers relate to the physicochemical properties of nanoparticles. Here, we use a multiparametric approach for the evaluation of lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) to identify relationships between structure, biological function, and biological activity. Our results indicate that evaluation of multiple parameters associated with barriers to delivery such as siRNA entrapment, pKa, LNP stability, and cell uptake as a collective may serve as a useful prescreening tool for the advancement of LNPs in vivo. This multiparametric approach complements the use of in vitro efficacy results alone for prescreening and improves in vitro-in vivo translation by minimizing false negatives. For the LNPs used in this work, the evaluation of multiple parameters enabled the identification of LNP pKa as one of the key determinants of LNP function and activity both in vitro and in vivo. It is anticipated that this type of analysis can aid in the identification of meaningful structure-function-activity relationships, improve the in vitro screening process of nanoparticles before in vivo use, and facilitate the future design of potent nanocarriers.
