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

Cell labeling by superparamagnetic iron oxide particles (SPIO) has emerged as a potentially powerful tool to monitor trafficking of transplanted cells by magnetic resonance tomography, e.g., in studies for tissue repair. However, intracellular labeling is mostly achieved by transfection agents not approved for clinical use. In this work, the feasibility and efficiency of labeling human mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) and HeLa cells with two commercially available SPIOs (Resovist and Feridex) without transfection agents was evaluated. In both cell types, Resovist without a transfection agent was more efficiently taken up than Feridex. Increasing the concentration of Resovist can yield similar amounts of iron in cells as SPIOs with transfection agents. This offers the opportunity to omit transfection agents from the labeling protocol when Resovist is used. Intracellular localization of the contrast agents is found by light microscopy and confirmed by electron microscopy. Coagulation of the SPIO nanoparticles, which is problematic for the quantification of the intracellular iron content, was observed and analyzed with a fluorescent activated cell sorter. As Resovist consists of a carboxydextran shell in contrast to Feridex which is composed of a dextran shell, we synthesized fluorescent polymeric nanoparticles as model systems with different amounts of carboxyl groups on the surface by the miniemulsion process. A steady increase in uptake of nanoparticles was detected with a higher density of carboxyl groups showing the relevance of charged groups as in the case of Resovist. Aggregation of these polymeric nanoparticles was not found.
