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

Prostate cancer (PCa) ranks as the fifth leading cause of cancer-related deaths among men worldwide. In 10-20% of the cases, PCa progresses to an incurable, castration-resistant stage. Castration-resistant PCa cells often overexpress prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA), a membrane protein that may serve as their Achilles' heel. Over the past decades, RNA-based therapeutics have emerged as promising treatments for a vast array of diseases, including cancer. In this study, with the ultimate goal of developing a targeted therapy for PCa, lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) are decorated with an anti-PSMA nanobody using click chemistry with a PEG-lipid. Direct stochastic optical reconstruction microscopy (dSTORM) and cluster analysis confirm the presence of at least one nanobody on the surface of 80% of LNPs. These anti-PSMA LNPs exhibit enhanced and specific uptake, and mRNA transfection in PSMA+ cancer cells both in vitro and in a Zebrafish (ZF) metastatic PCa xenograft model. Additionally, in a mouse PSMA-positive xenograft model, systemic administration results in increased LNP accumulation, but not functional mRNA delivery. These findings underscore both the potential and the challenges of using a PSMA-targeted lipid nanoparticle system for mRNA delivery into advanced prostate cancer tumors.
