PEGylation of poly(amine-co-ester) polyplexes for tunable gene delivery.
Article in Biomaterials, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 41 papers.
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.
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
There is growing interest in PEGylation of cationic polymeric vehicles for gene delivery in order to improve vehicle stability and reduce toxicity, but little is known about the effects of PEG coatings on transfection. We used a polymer from the poly(amine-co-ester) (PACE) family blended with PEG-conjugated PACE at different ratios in order to explore the effects of polyplex PEGylation on the transfection efficiency of plasmid DNA, mRNA, and siRNA in vitro and mRNA in vivo. We discovered that concentrations of PACE-PEG as low as 0.25% by weight improved polyplex stability but also inhibited transfection in vitro. In vivo, the effect of PACE-PEG incorporation on mRNA transfection varied by delivery route; the addition of PACE-PEG improved local delivery to the lung, but PEGylation had little effect on intravenous systemic delivery. By both delivery routes, transfection was inhibited at concentrations higher than 5 wt% PACE-PEG. These results demonstrate that excess PEGylation can be detrimental to vehicle function, and suggest that PEGylation of cationic vehicles must be optimized by PEG content, cargo type, and delivery route.
