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

objectiveWe have previously demonstrated the efficient and time-dependent transvascular localization of Sialyl Lewis X (SLX)-liposomes to inflammatory sites, but the final target of the SLX-liposomes remained uncertain. The aim of this study was to identify the target cells of the liposomes within the inflamed joints of collagen antibody-induced arthritis (CAIA) model mice.

methodsSLX-liposomes and unlabeled liposomes encapsulating high-density colloidal gold were administered intravenously into the caudal vein of CAIA mice on day 5 after induction of arthritis when the inflammatory score was maximal (n = 6 per group). Six hours or 24 h after liposome administration, animals were euthanized and hind limbs and ankles were excised without perfusion. After fixation, synovial tissues were examined by light microscopy after silver enhancement of colloidal gold or by transmission electron microscopy.

resultsSilver-enhanced signals were detected within the cells around E-selectin-positive blood vessels in the synovium of the SLX-liposome group. These cells were positive for the macrophage/monocyte marker F4/80 or neutrophil marker Ly-6G. Transmission electron microscopy detected the colloidal gold signals together with liposome-like structures within the phagosomes of synovial macrophages. Transmission electron microscopy and energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry could determine gold elements in the lysosomes of synovial macrophages.

conclusionsThe results of the current study demonstrate that SLX-liposomes primarily targeting E-selectin in activated endothelial cells could potentially deliver their contents into inflammatory cells around synovial blood vessels in arthritic joints.
