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

In this study, we synthesized an ionizable lipidoid, Cdoids, composed of carbon dots (Cdots) conjugated with oleic acid that exhibits superior biocompatibility compared to conventional ionizable lipids while retaining intrinsic fluorescence for real-time tracking and optimal nasal delivery of mRNA cancer vaccines. These properties make Cdoids a promising candidate for lipid nanoparticle (LNP) formulations. Incorporating Cdoids into LNPs enhances mRNA delivery efficiency via intranasal (IN) administration, providing a viable alternative to intramuscular (IM) injection. The unique structural features of Cdoids facilitate the formation of stable nanoparticles that efficiently encapsulate and deliver mRNA leveraging the immunological environment of the nasal mucosa to induce robust systemic and localized immune responses. Notably, Cdoids broaden the range of endocytosis mechanisms beyond conventional LNPs, leading to significantly enhanced mRNA expression within target cells. Comparative analyses demonstrated that Cdoids surpass commercially available ionizable lipids, such as SM-102, in both mRNA delivery efficiency and safety, exhibiting lower cytotoxicity in vitro and improved mRNA expression in vivo following IN administration. Furthermore, when applied as an mRNA cancer vaccine platform, Cdoids-based LNPs elicited strong antigen-specific immune responses, leading to effective tumor growth suppression. This study highlights the potential of Cdoids as an advanced ionizable lipid for LNP-based mRNA therapeutics and introduces an innovative strategy for optimizing intranasal vaccine delivery.
