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

Targeted delivery of macromolecular therapeutics holds great promise for overcoming the limitations of conventional small molecules, enabling the modulation of protein-protein interactions and precise genome editing. However, efficient, safe, and cell type-specific delivery remains a major challenge. To address this, we developed a modular platform for synthesizing heterotrifunctional bio-orthogonal macromolecular conjugates (BMCs) by engineering diverse combinations of targeting ligands, cell-penetrating peptides (CPPs), and bioactive cargos. We optimized facile bioconjugation chemistries to generate BMCs with improved yields, structural integrity, and activity. Modular BMCs accommodate diverse components, including antibodies and receptor ligands for targeting, CPPs for intracellular trafficking, and optical probes, therapeutic peptidomimetics, and CRISPR-Cas9 nuclease as cargo to confer specific biological activities. We assayed their utility across multiple applications: BMCs with fluorescently labeled cargo revealed endosomal escape and intracellular accumulation; peptidomimetic MYB transcription factor inhibitor BMCs exhibited potent antileukemic activity against acute myeloid leukemia cells; and Cas9 BMCs achieved rapid delivery and cell type-specific gene editing in human cells. The BMC approach enables the customizable delivery of functional macromolecules, nominating BMCs as a broadly applicable platform for biomedical applications.
