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

Nanocarrier administration has primarily been restricted to intermittent bolus injections with limited available options for sustained delivery in vivo. Here, we demonstrate that cylinder-to-sphere transitions of self-assembled filomicelle (FM) scaffolds can be employed for sustained delivery of monodisperse micellar nanocarriers with improved bioresorptive capacity and modularity for customization. Modular assembly of FMs from diverse block copolymer (BCP) chemistries allows in situ gelation into hydrogel scaffolds following subcutaneous injection into mice. Upon photo-oxidation or physiological oxidation, molecular payloads within FMs transfer to micellar vehicles during the morphological transition, as verified in vitro by electron microscopy and in vivo by flow cytometry. FMs composed of multiple distinct BCP fluorescent conjugates permit multimodal analysis of the scaffold's non-inflammatory bioresorption and micellar delivery to immune cell populations for one month. These scaffolds exhibit highly efficient bioresorption wherein all components participate in retention and transport of therapeutics, presenting previously unexplored mechanisms for controlled nanocarrier delivery.
