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

Solid core polymeric particles are an attractive delivery vehicle as they can efficiently encapsulate drugs of different physical and chemical characteristics. However, the effective targeting of such particles for therapeutic purposes has been somewhat elusive. Here, we report novel polymeric particles comprised of poly(lactic acid) (PLA) with incorporated poly(ethylene glycol)-lipids (PEG-lipids). Particles are characterized for morphology, surface charge, and composition with field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), zeta potential measurements, and proton nuclear magnetic resonance ((1)H NMR) spectroscopy, respectively. The surface densities of PEG lipids determined by (1)H NMR and particle size distributions are consistent with scaling theory for adsorption of chains onto a surface. We observe significant binding of liganded PEG-lipid tethers when the molecular weight is greater than the unliganded PEG-lipids for significant binding events. Importantly, the binding is not completely lost when the unliganded PEG molecular weight is greater than the liganded PEG-lipid tether. We observe a similar trend for the lower affinity ligand (thioctic acid), but the degree of binding is significantly lower than the high affinity ligand (biotin). This novel technique used to fabricate these liganded particles combined with the lipid bilayer binding studies provides a platform for systematic optimization of particle binding.
