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

Polymeric nanoparticles (NPs), prepared via coprecipitation of drugs and polymers, are promising drug delivery vehicles for treating diseases with improved efficacy and reduced toxicity. Here, we report an unprecedented strategy for preparing polylactide-cyclosporine A (PLA-CsA) NPs (termed CsA-NPs) through CsA-initiated ring-opening polymerization of lactide (LA) followed by nanoprecipitation. The resulting CsA-NPs have sub-100 nm sizes and narrow particle size distributions, and release CsA in a sustained manner without a "burst"-release effect. Both free CsA and CsA-NPs displayed comparable suppression of T-cell proliferation and production of inflammatory cytokines in various T-cell assays in a dose-dependent manner. The IC(50) values for CsA and CsA-NPs were 27.5 and 72.0 ng/ml, respectively. As lymph nodes are the main loci for T-cell activation, we coupled dendritic cells (DCs) with CsA-NPs and successfully delivered CsA selectively to the lymph nodes. Our studies indicated that CsA-NPs could be internalized in the DCs with a sustained release of CsA to the culture medium, suppressing alloreactive T-cell proliferation. Allogeneic DCs loaded with CsA-NPs were able to migrate to the draining lymph nodes where the T-cell priming was significantly reduced without any systemic release. This innovative nanoparticulate CsA delivery technology constitutes a strong basis for future targeted delivery of immunosuppressive drugs with improved efficiency and reduced toxicity.
