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

Biodegradable poly(β-amino) esters (PBAEs) have been a focus of interest for delivering therapeutic siRNA for several years. While no approved therapies are on the market yet, our study aims to advance PBAE-based treatments for currently "undruggable" diseases. The PBAEs used in this study are based on a recently reported step-growth copolymerization, which results in polymers with a unique balance of lipophilicity and positive charge, thereby showcasing diverse properties. Upon incubation with siRNA, these PBAEs form a unique structure and topology, which we classify as a subtype of classical polyplex, termed "micelle-embedded polyplexes" (mPolyplexes). The impact of different nebulizers on the physicochemical performance of these nanoparticles was investigated, and it was found that various mPolyplexes can be nebulized using vibrating-mesh nebulizers without the loss of gene silencing activity nor a change in physicochemical properties, setting them apart from other nanoparticles such as marketed LNPs. Finally, their therapeutic application was tested
