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
Intracellular delivery of biologicals such as peptides, proteins, and nucleic acids presents a great opportunity for innovative therapeutics. However, the endosome entrapment remains a major bottleneck in the intracellular delivery of biomacromolecules, largely limiting their therapeutic potential. Here, we converted a cell-penetrating peptide (CPP), low molecular weight protamine (LMWP), to endosomal escape peptides (EEPs) by masking LMWP with a pH-responsive counter-ionic peptide. The resulting masked CPPs (mLMWP and mLMWP2) effectively promoted the escape of peptide/protein cargoes from endosomes into the cytoplasm. Consequential lysosome repair and lysophagy were initiated upon the endolysosomal leakage. Minimal reactive oxygen species (ROS) elevation or cell death was observed. Based on mLMWP2, we constructed an intracellular protein delivery system containing an antibody as a targeting module, mLMWP2 as an endosomal escape module, and the desired protein cargo. With the HER2-targeting delivery system, we efficiently translocated cyclization recombination enzyme (Cre) and BH3-interacting domain death agonist (BID) into the cytosol of HER2
