Engineering supramolecular peptide nanofibers for in vivo platelet-hitchhiking beyond ligand-receptor recognition.
Article in Science advances, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Ex vivo or in vivo cell-hitchhiking has emerged as a potential means for efficient drug delivery and various disease therapies. However, many challenges remain, such as the complicated engineering process and dependence on ligand-receptor interaction. Here, we present a simple in vivo platelet-hitchhiking strategy based on self-assembling peptides without ligand modification. The engineered peptide nanofibers can hitchhike ultrafast (<5 s) and efficiently on both resting and activated platelets in a receptor-independent and species-independent manner. Mechanistic studies showed that unique secondary structure of nanofibers, which lead to surface exposure of hydrophobic and hydrogen bond-forming groups, might primarily contribute to the selective and efficient platelet-hitchhiking behavior. After intravenous injection, these peptide nanofibers hitchhiked in situ on circulating platelets and achieved almost 20-fold lung accumulation. Our study provides not only a different paradigm of in vivo platelet-hitchhiking beyond ligand-receptor recognition but also a potential strategy for lung-targeted drug delivery and pulmonary disease therapy.
