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

Therapeutic delivery of drug and gene delivery systems have to traverse multiple biological barriers to achieve efficacy. Mucosal administration, such as pulmonary delivery in cystic fibrosis (CF) disease, remains a significant challenge due to concentrated viscoelastic mucus, which prevents drugs and particles from penetrating the mucus barrier. To address this problem, we used combinatorial peptide-presenting phage libraries and next-generation sequencing (NGS) to identify hydrophilic, net-neutral charged peptide coatings that enable penetration through human CF mucus ex vivo with ~600-fold better penetration than control, improve uptake into lung epithelial cells compared to uncoated or PEGylated-nanoparticles, and exhibit enhanced uniform distribution and retention in the mouse lung airways. These peptide coatings address multiple delivery barriers and effectively serve as excellent alternatives to standard PEG surface chemistries to achieve mucus penetration and address some of the challenges encountered using these chemistries. This biomolecule-based strategy can address multiple delivery barriers and hold promise to advance efficacy of therapeutics for diseases like CF.
