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 development of lipid nanoparticle (LNP) systems has largely advanced RNA therapeutics, particularly mRNA-based cancer immunotherapy. Conventional amine-LNPs, designed for hepatic RNA delivery, face challenges in targeting lymphoid organs effectively and maximize antigen presentation. In this study, we present the development of pH-responsive ionizable guanidine-LNPs (G-LNPs). Our cholesterol-free G-LNP system enables efficient delivery of mRNA to the spleen following intravenous administration. Notably, while both amine-LNPs and G-LNPs can deliver mRNA to the spleen, G-LNPs exhibit a unique ability to preferentially target antigen-presenting cells, leading to significantly enhanced antigen presentation and robust T cell activation. mRNA vaccines formulated with G-LNPs elicited strong and antigen-specific immune responses, providing complete protection against tumor progression. In addition, intraperitoneal administration of G-LNPs enabled selective mRNA expression in the pancreas, showcasing the versatility of this delivery platform. These findings underscore the potential of guanidine-LNPs as a highly promising platform for organ-targeted mRNA delivery and cancer immunotherapy.
