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

backgroundBrain development and plasticity depend on specific microRNA (miRNA) expression patterns across cell types and subcellular compartments. Nevertheless, comprehensive profiling of localized brain miRNAs is still limited by challenges in isolating individual cell types or compartments and in detection sensitivity.

resultsTo overcome these limitations, we advanced HIV-1 Gag's ability to bind host miRNAs within Virus-like Particles to develop Synthetic Nano-Particles for Precise endogenous miRNA loading and export (SNaP). Our data establish SNaP's modularity and portability to clinically relevant neural cells, with particle yields matching benchmark packaging cells. The integration of SNaP with a cell-specific promoter enabled lineage-restricted miRNA export, while incorporating a dendritic localization signal improved the specificity of post-synaptic miRNA recovery over traditional synaptosomes. Additional engineering with a miRNA-binding module synergistically increased synaptic miRNA packaging in a sequence-independent manner.

conclusionCollectively, this work positions SNaP as a technological advancement supporting the high-resolution, spatially resolved profiling of miRNAs, adaptable to diverse polarized or heterogeneous culture systems.
