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

Efficient and safe delivery of the CRISPR/Cas system is one of the key challenges for genome-editing applications in humans. Herein, we designed and synthesized a series of biodegradable lipidlike compounds containing ester groups for the delivery of mRNA-encoding Cas9. Two lead materials, termed N-methyl-1,3-propanediamine (MPA)-A and MPA-Ab, showed a tunable rate of biodegradation. MPA-A with linear ester chains was degraded dramatically faster than MPA-Ab with branched ester chains in the presence of esterase or in wild-type mice. Most importantly, MPA-A and MPA-Ab demonstrated efficient delivery of Cas9 mRNA both in vitro and in vivo. Consequently, these biodegradable lipidlike nanomaterials merit further development as genome-editing delivery tools for biological and therapeutic applications.
