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

Antibodies are powerful tools that may potentially find wide applications in live-cell bioimaging, disease diagnostics, and therapeutics. Their practical applications have however remained limited thus far, owing to their inability to cross the cell membrane. Existing approaches for cytosolic delivery of functional antibodies are available, but they are constantly plagued by the need for chemical/genetic modifications, low delivery efficiency, and severe endolysosomal trapping. Consequently, it is of paramount importance to develop new strategies capable of highly efficient cytosolic delivery of native antibodies with immediate bioavailability. Herein, we report a modification-free, convenient "mix-and-go" strategy for the cytosolic delivery of native antibodies to different live mammalian cells efficiently, with minimal endolysosomal trapping and immediate bioavailability. By simply mixing a cell-permeant bioadaptor (derived from protein A or TRIM21) with a commercially available off-the-shelf antibody, the resulting noncovalent complex could be immediately used for intracellular delivery of native antibodies needed in subsequent cytosolic target engagement. The versatility of this approach was successfully illustrated in a number of applications, including antibody-based, live-cell imaging of the endogenous protein glutathionylation to detect oxidative cell stress, antibody-based activation of endogenous caspase-3, and inhibition of endogenous PTP1B activity, and finally TRIM21-mediated endogenous protein degradation for potential targeted therapy. Our results thus indicate this newly developed, "mix-and-go" antibody delivery method should have broad applications in chemical biology and future drug discovery.
