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

During healthy pregnancy, the placenta develops to allow for exchange of nutrients and oxygen between the mother and the fetus. However, placental dysregulation can lead to several pregnancy disorders, such as preeclampsia and fetal growth restriction. Recently, lipid nanoparticle (LNP)-mediated delivery of messenger RNA (mRNA) has been explored as a promising approach to treat these disorders. Here, iterative libraries of LNPs with varied excipient molar ratios are screened in vitro for enhanced mRNA delivery to placental cells with minimal cytotoxicity when compared to an LNP formulation with a standard excipient molar ratio. LNP C5, the top formulation identified by these screens, demonstrates a fourfold increase in mRNA delivery in vitro compared to the standard formulation. Intravenous administration of LNP C5 to pregnant mice achieves improved in vivo placental mRNA delivery compared to the standard formulation and mediates mRNA delivery to placental trophoblasts, endothelial cells, and immune cells. These results identify LNP C5 as a promising optimized LNP formulation for placental mRNA delivery and further validates the design of experiments strategy for LNP excipient optimization to enhance mRNA delivery to cell types and organs of interest.
