Effects of ligand distribution on receptor-diffusion-mediated cellular uptake of nanoparticles.
Article in Royal Society open science, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
Biophysical-factor-dependent cellular uptake of nanoparticles (NPs) through receptor-diffusion-mediated endocytosis bears significance in pathology, cellular immunity and drug-delivery systems. Advanced nanotechnology of NP synthesis provides methods for modifying NP surface with different ligand distributions. However, no report discusses effects of ligand distribution on NP surface on receptor-diffusion-mediated cellular uptake. In this article, we used a statistical dynamics model of receptor-diffusion-mediated endocytosis to examine ligand-distribution-dependent cellular uptake dynamics by considering that ligand-receptor complexes drive engulfing to overcome resistance to membrane deformation and changes in configuration entropy of receptors. Results showed that cellular internalization of NPs strongly depended on ligand distribution and that cellular-uptake efficiency of NPs was high when ligand distribution was within a range around uniform distribution. This feature of endocytosis ensures robust infection ability of viruses to enter host cells. Interestingly, results also indicated that optimal ligand distribution associated with highest cellular-uptake efficiency slightly depends on distribution pattern of ligands and density of receptors, and the optimal distribution becomes uniform when receptor density is sufficiently large. Position of initial contact point is also a factor affecting dynamic wrapping. This study explains why most enveloped viruses present almost homogeneous ligand distribution and is useful in designing controlled-release drug-delivery systems.
