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

In the literature, a few biological cells have been used as templates to form microcapsules of a variety of shapes and sizes. In this study, we proved the concept that living cells like platelets can be encapsulated with polyelectrolytes using electrostatic layer-by-layer self-assembly (LBL), and, most importantly, the encapsulation process did not induce activation of the platelets. Glycol-chitosan and poly-L-glutamic acid were electrostatically deposited onto platelets, and the encapsulation was confirmed using confocal laser scanning microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. Transmission electron microscopy observation further confirmed that the encapsulation process was mild and the activation of platelets was negligible. The encapsulation of living biological cells like platelets can serve as a model system in a wide range of biomedical applications including local and sustained drug delivery, immune protection of artificial tissues, and versatile artificial blood.
