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

Bioavailability of oral drugs, particularly large hydrophilic agents, is often limited by poor adhesion and transport across gastrointestinal (GI) epithelial cells. Drug delivery systems, such as sub-micrometer polymer carriers (nanocarriers, NCs) coupled to affinity moieties that target GI surface markers involved in transport, may improve this aspect. To explore this strategy, we coated 100-nm polymer particles with an antibody to ICAM-1 (a protein expressed on the GI epithelium and other tissues) and evaluated targeting, uptake, and transport in human GI epithelial cells. Fluorescence and electron microscopy, and radioisotope tracing revealed that anti-ICAM NCs specifically bound to cells in culture, were internalized via CAM-mediated endocytosis, trafficked by transcytosis across cell monolayers without disrupting the permeability barrier or cell viability, and enabled transepithelial transport of a model therapeutic enzyme (α-galactosidase, deficient in lysosomal Fabry disease). These results indicate that ICAM-1 targeting may provide delivery of therapeutics, such as enzymes, to and across the GI epithelium.
