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

The first continuous, real-time spectroscopic monitoring of a photo-driven cargo delivery event from a mesoporous silica-based nanocarrier inside a single living cell is reported. By chemically attaching azobenzene molecules inside the 3 nm pore channels of mesoporous silica nanoparticles (∼70 nm diameter), the escape of the cargo molecule [propidium iodide (PI)] from the pore is prevented in the dark but is facilitated by the light-driven isomerization motion. Real-time spectroscopic measurements of a single cell uncover intermediate processes that occur during this intracellular delivery event, from nanomachine activation to the release of PI into the cytosol and to PI's eventual intercalation with nuclear DNA. Changes in PI's fluorescence intensity and the hypsochromic shift of the band maxima are used to identify the local environment of the fluorophore that is being observed in the cell. The ability to precisely initiate a chemical event inside an individual cell and continuously monitor the subsequent biological responses will enhance our understanding of intracellular process upon drug, protein and nucleic acid delivery.
