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 unique therapeutic potential due to their specificity, potency, and low toxicity. The vast majority of intracellular applications of proteins require access to the cytosol. Direct entry to the cytosol is challenging due to the impermeability of the cell membrane to proteins. As a result, multiple strategies have focused on endocytic uptake of proteins. Endosomally entrapped cargo, however, can have very low escape efficiency, with protein degradation occurring in acidic endolysosomal compartments. In this review, we briefly discuss endosomal escape strategies and review the strategy of cell membrane fusion, a recent strategy for direct delivery of proteins into the cell cytoplasm.
