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

Peptides with suitable aggregation behavior and electrical properties are potential siRNA delivery vectors. However, identifying suitable peptides with ideal delivery and safety features is difficult owing to the variations in amino acid sequences. Here, a holistic program based on computer modeling and single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) is used to identify ideal siRNA delivery peptides. Stage one of this program consists of a sequential screening process for candidates with ideal assembly and delivery ability; stage two is a cell subtype-level analysis program that screens for high in vivo tissue safety. The leading candidate peptide selected from a library containing 12 amino acids showed strong lung-targeted siRNA delivery capacity after hydrophobic modification. Systemic administration of these compounds caused the least damage to liver and lung tissues and has little impact on macrophage and neutrophil numbers. By loading STAT3 siRNA, strong anticancer effects are achieved in multiple models, including patient-derived xenografts (PDX). This screening procedure may facilitate the development of peptide-based RNA interference (RNAi) therapeutics.
