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

Lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) are critical for the delivery of drugs and nucleic acids. However, current mRNA-LNP formulations require stringent freezing for storage, which limits their global distribution. Our previous studies demonstrated that optimizing the lipid type or molar ratio of Comirnaty-type mRNA-LNPs could enhance their lyophilization stability, thus improving their long-term storage stability under mild conditions. This study aims to enhance the storage stability of Spikevax-type mRNA-LNPs by optimizing lipid compositions and utilizing lyophilization for storage at 4°C. Fifteen mRNA-LNP formulations were evaluated for their physicochemical properties and transfection efficiency (TE) in human embryonic kidney (HEK)-293T cells using the I-optimal design of mixture experiments. Mathematical models were developed to predict the relationships among encapsulation efficiency, transfection performance and lipid ratios. The optimized mRNA-LNP formulation (N4), with a 1,2-distearoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DSPC)-to-cholesterol ratio of 0.36, exhibited superior stability and TE after lyophilization. N4 outperformed the original Spikevax formulation in several cell lines, including eye-derived ARPE-19 cells and lung-derived A549 cells.
