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

The recent clinical and commercial success of lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) for nucleic acid delivery has incentivized the development of new technologies to manufacture LNPs. As new technologies emerge, researchers must determine which technologies to assess and how to perform comparative evaluations. In this article, we use a quality-by-design approach to systematically investigate how the mixer technology used to form LNPs influences LNPstructure. Specifically, a coaxial turbulent jet mixer and a staggered herringbone microfluidic mixer were systematically compared via matched formulation and process conditions. A full-factorial design-of-experiments study with three factors and three levels was executed for each mixer to compare process robustness in the production of antisense oligonucleotide (ASO) LNPs. ASO-LNPs generated with the coaxial turbulent jet mixer were consistently smaller, had a narrower particle size distribution, and had a higher ASO encapsulation as compared to the microfluidic mixer, but had a greater variation in internal structure with less ordered cores. A subset of the study was replicated for mRNA-LNPs with comparable trends in particle size and encapsulation, but more frequent bleb features for LNPs produced by the coaxial turbulent jet mixer. The study design used here provides a road map for how researchers may compare different mixer technologies (or process changes more broadly) and how such studies can inform process robustness and manufacturing control strategies.
