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

Lipid nanoparticles for delivering mRNA therapeutics hold immense promise for the treatment of a wide range of lung-associated diseases. However, the lack of effective methodologies capable of identifying the pulmonary delivery profile of chemically distinct lipid libraries poses a significant obstacle to the advancement of mRNA therapeutics. Here we report the implementation of a barcoded high-throughput screening system as a means to identify the lung-targeting efficacy of cationic, degradable lipid-like materials. We combinatorially synthesize 180 cationic, degradable lipids which are initially screened in vitro. We then use barcoding technology to quantify how the selected 96 distinct lipid nanoparticles deliver DNA barcodes in vivo. The top-performing nanoparticle formulation delivering Cas9-based genetic editors exhibits therapeutic potential for antiangiogenic cancer therapy within a lung tumor model in female mice. These data demonstrate that employing high-throughput barcoding technology as a screening tool for identifying nanoparticles with lung tropism holds potential for the development of next-generation extrahepatic delivery platforms.
