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

Messenger RNA (mRNA) is a type of RNA that carries genetic information from DNA to the ribosome, where it is translated into proteins. mRNA has emerged as a powerful platform for development of new types of medicine, especially after the clinical approval of COVID-19 mRNA vaccines. Chemical modification and nanoparticle delivery have contributed to this success significantly by improving mRNA stability, reducing its immunogenicity, protecting it from enzymatic degradation, and enhancing cellular uptake and endosomal escape. Recently, substantial progresses have been made in new modification chemistries, sequence design, and structural engineering to generate more stable and efficient next-generation mRNAs. These innovations could further facilitate the clinical translation of mRNA therapies and vaccines. Given that numerous review articles have been published on mRNA nanoparticle delivery and biomedical applications over the last few years, we herein focus on overviewing recent advances in mRNA chemical modification, mRNA sequence optimization, and mRNA engineering (e.g., circular RNA and multitailed mRNA), with the aim of providing new perspectives on the development of more effective and safer mRNA medicines.
