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

introductionAcute Myeloid Leukaemia (AML) is the most common blood cancer in adults. Although 2 out of 3 AML patients go into total remission after chemotherapies and targeted therapies, the disease recurs in 60%-65% of younger adult patients within 3 years after diagnosis with a dramatically decreased survival rate. Therapeutic oligonucleotides are promising treatments under development for AML as they can be designed to silence oncogenes with high specificity and flexibility. However, there are not many well validated approaches for safely and efficiently delivering oligonucleotide drugs. This issue could be resolved by utilizing a new generation of delivery vehicles such as extracellular vesicles (EVs).

methodsIn this study, we harness red blood cell-derived EVs (RBCEVs) and engineer them via exogenous drug loading and surface functionalization to develop an efficient drug delivery system for AML. Particularly, EVs are designed to target CD33, a common surface marker with elevated expression in AML cells via the conjugation of a CD33-binding monoclonal antibody onto the EV surface.

resultsThe conjugation of RBCEVs with the CD33-binding antibody significantly increases the uptake of RBCEVs by CD33-positive AML cells, but not by CD33-negative cells. We also load CD33-targeting RBCEVs with antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs) targeting FLT3-ITD or miR-125b, 2 common oncogenes in AML, and demonstrate that the engineered EVs improve leukaemia suppression in in vitro and in vivo models of AML.

conclusionTargeted RBCEVs represent an innovative, efficient, and versatile delivery platform for therapeutic ASOs and can expedite the clinical translation of oligonucleotide drugs for AML treatments by overcoming current obstacles in oligonucleotide delivery.
