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 (LNPs) can assist in the delivery of nucleic acid inside animal cells, as demonstrated by their use in COVID-19 vaccine development. However, LNPs applicable to bacteria have not been reported. Here, the screening of 511 LNPs containing random combinations of different lipid components identified two LNPs, LNP 496 and LNP 470, that efficiently delivered plasmids into Escherichia coli BW25113. Since Gram-negative bacteria have lipid bilayers, the bacteria are pretreated with LNP-helper that weakens the bacterial membrane. The cationic lipid DOTAP improved delivery of LNP-encapsulated plasmid DNA when present at a molar ratio of 10-25 mol% in the LNP. LNP encapsulation of the Cas13a/gRNA expression vector controlled infection by a clinical Escherichia strain in Galleria mellonela larvae and mouse infection models when used in combination with non-cytotoxic concentrations of polymyxin B, a bacterial membrane disruptor. Together, the results show that LNPs can be useful as a delivery platform for agents that counteract pathogenic bacterial infections.
