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

For complexation of mRNA into polyplexes, double-pH-responsive lipo-xenopeptides (XP), comprising tetraethylene pentamino succinic acid (Stp) and lipoamino fatty acids (LAFs), were combined with PEGylated lipids, either DMG-PEG 2 kDa (DMG-PEG) or azido-group-containing DSPE-PEG 2 kDa (DSPE-PEG-N3), to increase colloidal stability and to facilitate ligand-mediated targeted mRNA delivery. LAF-XPs mixed with DMG-PEG at low (1.5% and 3%) molar ratios improved colloidal stability and retained transfection efficiency. PEGylation also enabled the formulation of otherwise unstable carrier complexes and prevented aggregation induced by salt, proteins, and serum. PEGylation of more positively charged Stp-LAF
