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

Lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) are useful carriers for therapeutic siRNA delivery, yet their clinical efficacy remains constrained by insufficient cellular uptake. Here, using a genome-wide CRISPR knockout screen, multiple genetic modulators of LNP uptake is uncovered, with PIK3CA emerging as a top druggable target. Pharmacologic inhibition of PIK3CA with BAY1082439 - a clinically evaluated small molecule - significantly enhances LNP uptake, siRNA delivery, and gene silencing across diverse epithelial cancer cell lines in vitro. Co-administration of BAY1082439 with siRNA-loaded LNPs also better suppressed tumor growth and reduced liver inflammation in vivo, respectively. These findings establish PIK3CA inhibition as a broadly applicable strategy to boost LNP-mediated RNA interference and highlight the promise of combining functional genomics with nanomaterials to advance RNA-based therapeutics.
