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

Nonviral polymeric vectors offer a tunable platform for nucleic acid delivery, yet formulation variables beyond polymer structure remain underexplored. Here, we systematically investigate the role of stock solvent in shaping gene delivery performance using end-capped highly branched poly(amino ester) (HPAE) vectors. By combining a structured experimental design with an interpretable machine learning framework, we reveal that transfection efficiency is primarily governed by polymer features, while solvent properties modulate performance through strong polymer-solvent interactions. Descriptor-level analysis identifies key molecular features associated with high-performing formulations, highlighting the importance of polymer size, charge density, and hydrophobic-polar balance. Selected polymer-solvent combinations enable efficient CFTR protein restoration in cystic fibrosis disease cells and achieve robust in vivo transgene expression following systemic administration in mice. Overall, this work establishes stock solvent as a critical and tunable formulation parameter and provides a data-driven framework for optimizing polymeric gene delivery systems.
