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

Intracellular delivery of therapeutic biomacromolecules is often challenged by the poor transmembrane and limited endosomal escape. Here, we establish a combinatorial library composed of 150 molecular weight-defined gemini amphiphiles (GAs) to identify the vehicles that facilitate robust cytosolic delivery of proteins in vitro and in vivo. These GAs display similar skeletal structures but differential amphiphilicity by adjusting the length of alkyl tails, type of ionizable cationic heads, and hydrophobicity or hydrophilicity of a spacer. The top candidate is highly efficient in translocating a broad spectrum of proteins with various molecular weights and isoelectric points into the cytosol. Particularly, we notice that the entry mechanism is predominantly mediated via the lipid raft-dependent membrane fusion, bypassing the classical endocytic pathway that limits the cytosolic delivery efficiency of many presently available carriers. Remarkably, the top GA candidate is capable of delivering hard-to-deliver Cas9 ribonucleoprotein in vivo, disrupting
