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

Systemic, tissue-specific delivery of large transgenes exceeding the packaging capacity of adeno-associated viruses (AAVs) remains a key translational challenge for molecular therapeutics. Vectors with larger capacities, such as lentiviral vectors (LVVs) and lipid nanoparticles (LNPs), often lack adjustable, tissue-specific tropisms. Here we report CHARIOT-AAV (Crosslinked Hybrid Architectures for Robust, Interchangeable, and Organ-specific Targeting with AAV), a platform where diverse delivery vectors are conjugated to AAVs, thereby achieving tissue-specific tropism of AAVs and expanded cargo capacity. AAV-AAV conjugates packaging split SpCas9 constructs in AAV.CAP-B10 capsids demonstrate a ~2-fold increase in brain gene editing efficiency over unconjugated AAV cocktails after intravenous injection. In addition to AAV-AAV conjugates, AAV-LVV and AAV-LNP conjugates achieve AAV-guided delivery of genetic payloads to target cells. Furthermore, AAV-LNP conjugates enable systemic delivery of mRNAs to brain endothelial cells. CHARIOT-AAV thus provides a modular platform for systemic, tissue-specific delivery of diverse therapeutics beyond the limits of individual vectors.
