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

Effective pulmonary messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccination requires delivery systems capable of overcoming the airway barrier and efficiently transfecting pulmonary antigen-presenting cells. Here, we developed a hybrid polymeric system incorporating poly(lactic-co-glycolic) acid (PLGA) and poly(β-amino esters) (PBAEs) to enhance pulmonary mRNA delivery. The components acted through a spatiotemporally coordinated cascade: early PLGA hydrolysis acidified endosomes, boosting PBAE protonation and tightening mRNA condensation for protection; increased buffering, driven by accelerated protonation, strengthened proton-sponge-mediated escape; and weakened electrostatic interactions in the cytosol enabled rapid mRNA release and translation in dendritic cells, supporting immune activation. These findings highlight the need to balance endosomal escape with timely mRNA release for functional expression. The system also overcame the mucus barrier and enabled mRNA transfection in
