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

Protein-based therapeutics have made a significant impact in the treatment of a variety of important human diseases. However, given their intrinsically vulnerable structure and susceptibility to enzymatic degradation, many therapeutic proteins such as enzymes, growth factors, hormones, and cytokines suffer from poor physicochemical/biological stability and immunogenicity that may limit their potential benefits, and in some cases limit their utility. Furthermore, when protein therapeutics are developed for intracellular targets, their internalization and biological activity may be limited by inefficient membrane permeability and/or endosomal escape. Development of effective protein delivery strategies is therefore essential to further enhance therapeutic outcomes to enable widespread medical applications. This review discusses the advantages and limitations of marketed and developmental-stage protein delivery strategies, and provides a focused overview of recent advances in nanotechnology platforms for the systemic delivery of therapeutic proteins. In addition, we also highlight nanoparticle-mediated non-invasive administration approaches (e.g., oral, nasal, pulmonary, and transdermal routes) for protein delivery.
