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

Carbohydrate functionalization of nanoparticles allows for targeting of C-type lectin receptors. This family of pattern recognition receptors expressed on innate immune cells, such as macrophages and dendritic cells, can be used to modulate immune responses. In this work, the in vivo safety profile of carbohydrate-functionalized polyanhydride nanoparticles was analyzed following parenteral and intranasal administration in mice. Polyanhydride nanoparticles based on 1,6-bis-(p-carboxyphenoxy)hexane and 1,8-bis-(p-carboxyphenoxy)-3,6-dioxaoctane were used. Nanoparticle functionalization with di-mannose (specifically carboxymethyl-α-D-mannopyranosyl-(1,2)-D-mannopyranoside), galactose (specifically carboxymethyl-β-galactoside), or glycolic acid induced no adverse effects after administration based on histopathological evaluation of liver, kidneys, and lungs. Regardless of the polymer formulation, there was no evidence of hepatic or renal damage or dysfunction observed in serum or urine samples. The histological profile of cellular infiltration and the cellular distribution and kinetics in the lungs of mice administered with nanoparticle treatments followed similar behavior as that observed in the lungs of animals administered with saline. Cytokine and chemokine profiles in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid indicated surface chemistry dependence on modest secretion of IL-6, IP-10, and MCP-1; however, there was no evidence of any deleterious histopathological changes. Based on these analyses, carbohydrate-functionalized nanoparticles are safe for in vivo applications. These results provide foundational information towards the evaluation of the capabilities of these surface-modified nanoparticles as vaccine delivery formulations.
