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 new class of polymer spherical nucleic acid (SNA) conjugates comprised of poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) nanoparticle (NP) cores is reported. The nucleic acid shell that defines the PLGA-SNA exhibits a half-life of more than 2 h in fetal bovine serum. Importantly, the PLGA-SNAs can be utilized to encapsulate a hydrophobic model drug, coumarin 6, which can then be released in a polymer composition-dependent tunable manner, while the dissociation rate of the nucleic acid shell remains relatively constant, regardless of core composition. Like prototypical gold NP conjugate SNAs, PLGA-SNAs freely enter Raw-Blue cells and can be used to activate toll-like receptor 9 in a sequence- and dose-dependent manner. Taken together, the data show that this novel nanoconstruct provides a means for controlling the release kinetics of encapsulated cargos in the context of the SNA platform, which may be useful for developing combination therapeutics.
