Synthetic mRNAs Containing Minimalistic Untranslated Regions Are Highly Functional In Vitro and In Vivo.
Article in Cells, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers.
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.
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
Synthetic mRNA produced by in vitro transcription (ivt mRNA) is the active pharmaceutical ingredient of approved anti-COVID-19 vaccines and of many drugs under development. Such synthetic mRNA typically contains several hundred bases of non-coding "untranslated" regions (UTRs) that are involved in the stabilization and translation of the mRNA. However, UTRs are often complex structures, which may complicate the entire production process. To eliminate this obstacle, we managed to reduce the total amount of nucleotides in the UTRs to only four bases. In this way, we generate minimal ivt mRNA ("minRNA"), which is less complex than the usual optimized ivt mRNAs that are contained, for example, in approved vaccines. We have compared the efficacy of minRNA to common augmented mRNAs (with UTRs of globin genes or those included in licensed vaccines) in vivo and in vitro and could demonstrate equivalent functionalities. Our minimal mRNA design will facilitate the further development and implementation of ivt mRNA-based vaccines and therapies.
