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

purposeThe objective of this study was to evaluate nanoparticle uptake by the Caco-2 monolayer model in vitro. Special emphasis was placed on the localization and the quantification of the uptake of fluorescently labeled polystyrene and poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) nanoparticles.

methodsIntracellular fluorescence was localized by fluorescence and confocal laser scanning microscopy. Particle uptake was quantified either directly, by counting internalized nanoparticles after separation from the Caco-2 monolayers, or indirectly, by extraction of the lipophilic fluorescence marker. In vitro release studies of lipophilic markers from nanoparticles were performed in standard buffer systems and buffer systems supplemented with liposomes.

resultsInstead of uptake of polystyrene and PLGA nanoparticles by Caco-2 monolayers an efficient transfer of lipophilic fluorescence markers from nanoparticles into Caco-2 cells with subsequent staining of intracellular lipophilic compartments was observed. Whereas in standard buffer no release of fluorescent marker from polystyrene and PLGA nanoparticles was observed, the release studies using liposome dispersions as receiver revealed an efficient transfer of fluorescent marker into the liposome dispersion.

conclusionsThe results suggest that the deceptive particle uptake is caused by a collision-induced process facilitating the transfer of lipophilic fluorescent marker by formation of a complex between the nanoparticles and the biomembranes. Diffusion of the marker within this complex into lipophilic compartments of the cell strongly affects quantitative evaluation of particle uptake.
