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

Clinical translation of CRISPR/Cas9 therapeutics is challenged by inefficient cytosolic delivery and toxicity issues associated with viral vectors and nanoparticle-based carriers. To overcome these concerns, herein we report a lipid-silica hybrid nanoparticle platform for fusogenic association and secured transfection of CRISPR/Cas9 (FAST-CRISPR), designed for rapid cytosolic delivery of CRISPR/Cas9 ribonucleoproteins, followed by efficient gene editing. Through direct fusion with the plasma membrane and bypassing conventional endocytic barriers, FAST-CRISPR nanoparticles displayed superior intracellular delivery efficacy. Optimizing lipid compositions, we discovered that a 1:1 weight mixture of cationic DOTAP and ionizable DODMA lipids, combined with tailored large-pore silica nanoparticles, enables enhanced loading capacity, rapid cytosolic dispersion, and significant nuclear transport of Cas9/gRNA complexes. FAST-CRISPR nanoparticles efficiently delivered multiplex genome-targeting ribonucleoproteins to induce targeted double-strand DNA breaks, triggering apoptosis in cancer cells and significantly suppressing tumor growth in a mouse xenograft model without systemic toxicity. Our findings demonstrate the therapeutic efficacy and translational potential of FAST-CRISPR nanoparticles as a safe and versatile non-viral delivery platform for precision genome editing.
