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 modularity of mRNA-lipid nanoparticle (mRNA-LNP) platforms has enabled their rapid adaptation from infectious disease vaccines to emerging applications in immune-mediated disorders. However, extending mRNA-LNPs to autoimmune and inflammatory diseases requires precise control over immune cell targeting and immunogenicity. Here, we systematically investigate how incorporating anionic lipids into LNPs modulates both immune cell tropism and innate immune activation. Using a library of 40 distinct LNP formulations, we demonstrate that anionic lipids enhance mRNA delivery to splenic dendritic cells, reduce early cellular markers of adjuvant activity and tune cytokine responses in a lipid-dependent manner. We identify formulations that retain pro-inflammatory adjuvant activity and others that promote tolerogenic responses. A lead formulation containing the anionic lipid DOPG selectively dampens innate activation and induces IL-10 production. When encoding the myelin antigen MOG
