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

To quantify the transport and adhesion of drug particles in a complex vascular environment, computational fluid particle dynamics (CFPD) simulations of blood flow and drug particulate were conducted in three different geometries representing the human lung vasculature for steady and pulsatile flow conditions. A fully developed flow profile was assumed as the inlet velocity, and a lumped mathematical model was used for the calculation of the outlet pressure boundary condition. A receptor-ligand model was used to simulate the particle binding probability. The results indicate that bigger particles have lower deposition fraction due to less chance of successful binding. Realistic unsteady flow significantly accelerates the binding activity over a wide range of particle sizes and also improves the particle deposition fraction in bifurcation regions when comparing with steady flow condition. Furthermore, surface imperfections and geometrical complexity coupled with the pulsatility effect can enhance fluid mixing and accordingly particle binding efficiency. The particle binding density at bifurcation regions increases with generation order and drug carriers are washed away faster in steady flow. Thus, when studying drug delivery mechanism in vitro and in vivo, it is important to take into account blood flow pulsatility in realistic geometry. Moreover, tissues close to bifurcations are more susceptible to deterioration due to higher uptake.
