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) have demonstrated significant therapeutic value for non-viral delivery of mRNA and siRNA. While there is considerable interest in utilizing LNPs for delivering DNA (DNA-LNPs) to address a broad range of genetic disorders, acute inflammatory responses pose significant safety concerns and limit transgene expression below therapeutically relevant levels. However, the mechanisms and immune signaling pathways underlying DNA-LNP-triggered inflammatory responses are not well characterized. Through the use of gene-targeted mouse models, we have identified cGAS-STING and interferon-α/β receptor (IFNAR) pathways as major mediators of acute inflammation triggered by systemic delivery of DNA-LNPs. cGAS-STING activation induces expression of numerous JAK-STAT-activating cytokines, and we show that treatment of mice with the JAK inhibitors ruxolitinib or baricitinib significantly improves tolerability to systemically delivered DNA-LNPs. Furthermore, specific inhibition of IFNAR signaling enhances both DNA-LNP tolerability and transgene expression. Utilization of JAK inhibitors or IFNAR blockade represent promising strategies for enhancing the safety and efficacy of non-viral DNA delivery for gene therapy.
