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

The increasing clinical trials of single-stranded mRNA (ss-mRNA) therapeutics highlight the urgent need to develop efficient, scalable, and economic purification methods. Current diffusion-driven, resin-based purification techniques constrain productivity and rely on expensive oligo(dT) ligands for target ss-mRNA poly(A) tail hybridization. To overcome these challenges, we use interfacial molecular forces, such as charge and hydrogen bonds, between nucleic acid variants and a positively charged synthetic microporous membrane to purify ss-mRNA, a desirable therapeutic, from an undesirable impurity, immunogenic double-stranded RNA (dsRNA). Membranes achieved high binding capacities (1.28 mg/m
