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 therapeutics are a powerful class of drugs known for their selectivity and potency. However, the potential efficacy of these therapeutics is commonly offset by short circulatory half-lives and undesired action at otherwise healthy tissue. We describe herein a targeted protein delivery system that employs engineered red blood cells (RBCs) as carriers and light as the external trigger that promotes hemolysis and drug release. RBCs internally loaded with therapeutic proteins are readily surface modified with a dormant hemolytic peptide. The latter is activated via easily assigned wavelengths that extend into the optical window of tissue. We have demonstrated that photorelease transpires with spatiotemporal control and that the liberated proteins display the anticipated biological effects
