Hydrogen-induced disruption of the airway mucus barrier enhances nebulized RNA delivery to reverse pulmonary fibrosis.
Article in Science advances, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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.
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
Nebulized RNA therapies are well suited for treating respiratory diseases, in particular pulmonary fibrosis (PF); however, effective delivery remains challenging. In this study, we present a highly efficient aerosol inhalation system that enables high levels of in vivo transfection efficiency in lung macrophages, yielding durable responses against PF. First, we established a nose-only aerosol inhalation device integrated with a hydrogen supplement system. This setup enables the precise administration of lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) at a controlled low dose, while simultaneously delivering the optimal concentration of therapeutic hydrogen gas. We further developed a hybrid lipid NP (HNP) by hybridizing a pH-dependent charge-inverting lipid film with apoptotic T cell membranes to enhance endosomal escape and trigger macrophage production of hepatocyte growth factor for lung repair. We demonstrated that the hydrogen flow-induced shear stresses disrupt the NP-mucus interaction, enhancing the deposition of aerosolized HNPs/
