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

mRNA vaccines have been widely implemented and revolutionized the landscape of oncology and epidemiology. Potent vaccination demands precise control over injection depth to ensure optimal lymphatic drainage, driving the development of non-invasive imaging techniques to visualize the distribution and efficacy of mRNA vaccines. Herein, near-infrared-II (NIR-II) lipid nanoparticles (NIR-II-LNPs) are fabricated for mRNA delivery by integrating a cationic fluorophore amphiphile (IR780-C16) into traditional LNPs, enabling longitudinal, quantitative, and non-invasive trafficking of mRNA vaccines. The in vivo behaviors of mRNA vaccines are characterized with different vaccination protocols in mice and rabbits by NIR-II fluorescence imaging. Results proved that following a 25 µL injection of mRNA vaccines into the mouse thigh at a depth of 4 mm or a 500 µL injection volume into a rabbit at a depth of 7 mm via the intramuscular route, the vaccines rapidly and abundantly accumulated in the inguinal lymph nodes. Flow cytometry and tissue immunofluorescence analyses further validated that optimized vaccination parameters effectively activated antitumor immunity and greatly boosted the therapeutic efficacy in B16-OVA and HPV-associated mouse tumor models. NIR-II-LNPs offer a unique modality for non-invasively monitoring the fate of vaccines, reinforcing its role in preclinical and clinical mRNA therapeutics.
