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

Intracellular protein therapy is a promising strategy in biologics, including vaccine development, gene editing, and cancer therapeutics. However, protein-based drug delivery remains a significant challenge, particularly in penetrating cell barriers to reach intracellular targets. Inspired by transport adjuvants, we designed a series of polymeric vectors to achieve efficient functional protein trafficking with low cytotoxicity. With an adequate combination of guanidinium and fluorocarbon functionalities, a synergistic improvement of intracellular delivery is achieved in terms of both high intracellular transport and low cellular toxicity. The observed synergistic outcomes highlight new opportunities for delivery vehicle optimizations of intracellular biologics.
