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

Understanding the intracellular distribution and trafficking of nanoparticle drug carriers is necessary to elucidate their mechanisms of drug delivery and is helpful in the rational design of novel nanoparticle drug delivery systems. The traditional immunofluorescence method to study intracellular distribution of nanoparticles using organelle-specific antibodies is laborious and subject to artifacts. As an alternative, we developed a new method that exploits ratiometric fluorescence imaging of a pH-sensitive Lysosensor dye to visualize and quantify the spatial distribution of nanoparticles in the endosomes and lysosomes of live cells. Using this method, we compared the endolysosomal distribution of cell-penetrating peptide (CPP)-functionalized micelles to unfunctionalized micelles and found that CPP-functionalized micelles exhibited faster endosome-to-lysosome trafficking than unfunctionalized micelles. Ratiometric fluorescence imaging of pH-sensitive Lysosensor dye allows rapid quantitative mapping of nanoparticle distribution in endolysosomes in live cells while minimizing artifacts caused by extensive sample manipulation typical of alternative approaches. This new method can thus serve as an alternative to traditional immunofluorescence approaches to study the intracellular distribution and trafficking of nanoparticles within endosomes and lysosomes.
