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

A growing number of nanoparticle systems, termed "nanomedicines", are being developed for diagnostic and therapeutic applications. Nanoparticles can employ various cellular entry pathways and trafficking mechanisms to effectively deliver drugs, biomolecules, and imaging agents to precise sub-cellular locations. However, the dynamic transport of nanoparticles through the complex intracellular environment is not well understood, having been primarily studied with static or bulk averaged methods in the past. Such techniques do not provide detailed information regarding the transport mechanism and rates of individual nanoparticles, where understanding of the interaction of nanoparticles with the cellular environment remains incomplete. Recent advances in live-cell fluorescence microscopy and real-time multiple particle tracking (MPT) have facilitated an improved understanding of cell trafficking pathways. Understanding the dynamic transport of nanoparticles as they are delivered into complex cellular components may lead to rational improvements in the design of nanomedicines. This review discusses different cellular uptake and trafficking pathways of nanomedicines, briefly highlights current fluorescence microscopy tools, and provides examples from the recent literature on the use of MPT and its applications.
