Tear-mediated delivery of nanoparticles through transcytosis of the lacrimal gland.
Article in Journal of controlled release : official journal of the Controlled Release Society, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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.
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
Rapid clearance from the tears presents a formidable obstacle to the delivery of peptide drugs to the eye surface. This impedes therapies for ocular infections, wound healing, and dry-eye disease that affect the vision of millions worldwide. To overcome this challenge, this manuscript explores a novel strategy to reach the ocular surface via receptor-mediated transcytosis across the lacrimal gland (LG), which produces the bulk of human tears. The LG abundantly expresses the coxsackievirus and adenovirus receptor (CAR); furthermore, we recently reported a peptide-based nanoparticle (KSI) that targets CAR on liver cells. This manuscript reports the unexpected finding that KSI both targets and transcytoses into the LG acinar lumen, which drains to tear ducts. When followed using ex vivo live cell imaging KSI rapidly accumulates in lumen formed by LG acinar cells. LG transduction with a myosin Vb tail, which is dominant negative towards transcytosis, inhibits lumenal accumulation. Transcytosis of KSI was confirmed in vivo by confocal and TEM imaging of LG tissue following administration of KSI nanoparticles. These findings suggest that it is possible to target nanomaterials to the tears by targeting certain receptors on the LG. This design strategy represents a new opportunity to overcome barriers to ocular delivery.
