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 global pandemic of COVID-19 has underscored the huge potential of nucleic acid drugs in effective and rapid vaccine development. Hence, it is significant to accelerate the research and clinical transformation of nucleic acid drugs. However, when administered systemically, nucleic acid molecules are vulnerable to degradation by nucleases, and their structural hydrophilicity hampers cellular entry, limiting their efficacy. Moreover, free nucleic acid drugs may cause some side effects in vivo, and the application of small nucleic acid drugs is largely restricted by intratumoral or peritumoral administration. Currently, the design and preparation of nucleic acid delivering systems face many scientific problems and technical challenges. Breaking through the technical bottlenecks in intraneous delivery of nucleic acid molecules is anticipated to open a new era of efficient, precise and safe nucleic acid drugs. This program, based on the new advances in nanotechnology and biomedical engineering, aims to advance the nucleic acid nano drug delivery systems (NDDS) and overcome intraneous delivery barriers. This review explores the barriers in nucleic acid drug delivery and presents methods for enhancing intracellular uptake, offering guidance for the design of nucleic acid carriers. Furthermore, it discusses the latest advancements in applying NDDS to nucleic acid drugs.
