How Advanced are Nanocarriers for Effective Subretinal Injection?
Review in International journal of nanomedicine, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Subretinal injection (SR injection) is a commonly used method of ocular drug delivery and has been mainly applied for the treatment of neovascular age-associated macular degeneration (nAMD) and sub-macular hemorrhage (SMH) caused by nAMD, as well as various types of hereditary retinopathies (IRD) such as Stargardt's disease (STGD), retinitis pigmentosa (RP), and a series of fundus diseases such as Leber's congenital dark haze (LCA), choroidal defects, etc. The commonly used carriers of SR injection are mainly divided into viral and non-viral vectors. Leber's congenital amaurosis (LCA), choroidal agenesis, and a series of other fundus diseases are also commonly treated using SR injection. The commonly used vectors for SR injection are divided into two categories: viral vectors and non-viral vectors. Viral vectors are a traditional class of SR injection drug carriers that have been extensively studied in clinical treatment, but they still have many limitations that cannot be ignored, such as poor reproduction efficiency, small loading genes, and triggering of immune reactions. With the rapid development of nanotechnology in the treatment of ocular diseases, nanovectors have become a research hotspot in the field of non-viral vectors. Nanocarriers have numerous attractive properties such as low immunogenicity, robust loading capacity, stable structure, and easy modification. These valuable features imply greater safety, improved therapeutic efficacy, longer duration, and more flexible indications. In recent years, there has been a growing interest in nanocarriers, which has led to significant advancements in the treatment of ocular diseases. Nanocarriers have not only successfully addressed clinical problems that viral vectors have failed to overcome but have also introduced new therapeutic possibilities for certain classical disease types. Nanocarriers offer undeniable advantages over viral vectors. This review discusses the advantages of subretinal (SR) injection, the current status of research, and the research hotspots of gene therapy with viral vectors. It focuses on the latest progress of nanocarriers in SR injection and enumerates the limitations and future perspectives of nanocarriers in the treatment of fundus lesions. Furthermore, this review also covers the research progress of nanocarriers in the field of subretinal injection and highlights the value of nanocarrier-mediated SR injection in the treatment of fundus disorders. Overall, it provides a theoretical basis for the application of nanocarriers in SR injection.
