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

For cystic fibrosis patients, a lung-targeted gene therapy would significantly alleviate pulmonary complications associated with morbidity and mortality. However, mucus in the airways and cell entry pose huge delivery barriers for local gene therapy. Here, we used phage display technology to select for and identify mucus- and cell-penetrating peptides against primary human bronchial epithelial cells from cystic fibrosis patients cultured at the air-liquid interface. At the air-liquid interface, primary human bronchial epithelial cells produce mucus and reflect cystic fibrosis disease pathology, making it a clinically relevant model. Using this model, we discovered a lead candidate peptide and incorporated it into lipid nanoparticles to deliver mRNA to primary human bronchial epithelia
