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

purpose of reviewSeveral preclinical studies have engineered nanoparticles for immune regulation, and have shown promising results in the fields of autoimmunity and cancer. In solid organ transplantation, the use of nanoparticle-based immune regulation has only just begun to emerge but holds significant promise for the improvement of our current standard of care immunosuppressive regimens. In this review, we will shed light on the current status of nanoparticle-engineered immunotherapeutics, and the potential application of these technologies to the field of organ transplantation. Further we discuss different strategies for delivery and potential cellular targeting moieties that could be utilized to obviate the need for high dose systemic immunosuppressive regimens. RECENT

findingsRecent studies have shown the potential of immunosuppressive laden nanoparticles to increase bioavailability, drug release, and specifically target immune cell compartments as methods to provide recipient immunosuppressive sparing strategies. SUMMARY: Nanoparticle centered immunosuppressive strategies hold the potential to usher in a new era in transplant recipient management and could hold the key to minimizing off-target effects of immunosuppressants, along with prolonging transplant survival.
