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

Efficient and cell-specific delivery remains a major barrier to realising the full therapeutic potential of modalities such as mRNA and CRISPR-based gene editors. Here, we report a versatile delivery platform based on engineered ARRDC1-mediated microvesicles (ARMMs) capable of delivering cargo to defined cell populations. By decorating ARMMs with engineered Nipah virus (NiV)-derived fusion and attachment proteins conjugated to cell-specific ligands, we enable selective binding and membrane fusion-mediated cargo release. ARMMs functionalized with anti-CD8 single-chain variable fragment (scFv) delivered protein, mRNA, or CRISPR-Cas9 base editor selectively to CD8⁺ T cells. Similarly, ARMMs displaying a designed ankyrin repeat protein (DARPin) targeting the GluA4 receptor enabled delivery to parvalbumin-positive (PV⁺) neurons. In vivo, administration of targeted ARMMs resulted in functional delivery to CD8⁺ splenocytes and PV⁺ cortical neurons in mice. These findings establish surface-engineered ARMMs as a programmable and modular system for precision delivery of therapeutic macromolecules, with broad applicability in gene and RNA-based medicine.
