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

Intracellular cargo delivery is an essential step in many biomedical applications including gene editing and biologics therapy. Examples of cargo include nucleic acids (RNA and DNA), proteins, small biomolecules, and drugs, which can vary substantially in terms of their sizes, charges, solubility, and stability. Viruses have been used traditionally to deliver nucleic acids into cells, but the method suffers from limitations such as small cargo size, safety concerns, and viral genome integration into host cells, all of which complicate therapeutic applications. Commercially available techniques using biochemicals and bulk electroporation are, in general, poorly compatible with primary cells such as human induced pluripotent stem cells and immune cells, which are increasingly important candidates for adoptive cell therapy. Nanostructures, with dimensions ranging from tens of nanometers to a few micrometers, may play a critical role in overcoming cellular manipulation and delivery challenges and provide a powerful alternative to conventional techniques. A critical feature that differentiates nanostructures from viral, biochemical, and bulk electroporation techniques is that they interface with cells at a scale measuring ten to hundreds of nanometers in size. This highly local interaction enables application of stronger and more direct stimuli such as mechanical force, heat, or electric fields than would be possible in a bulk treatment. Compared to popular viral, biochemical, and bulk electroporation methods, nanostructures were found to minimally perturb cells with cells remaining in good health during postdelivery culture. These advantages have enabled nanostructures such as nanowires and nanotubes to successfully interface with a wide variety of cells, including primary immune cells and cardiomyocytes, for
