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

Ordered mesoporous silica (OMS) is a very interesting nanostructured material for the design and engineering of new target and controlled drug-delivery systems. Particularly relevant is the interaction between OMS and proteins. Large pores (6–9 nm) micrometric particles can be used for the realization of a drug depot system where therapeutic proteins are adsorbed either inside the mesopores or on the external surface. Small pores (1–2 nm) mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs), can be injected in the blood stream. In the latter case, therapeutic proteins are mainly adsorbed on the MSNs’ external surface. Whenever a protein-OMS conjugate is prepared, a diagnostic method to locate the protein either on the internal or the external silica surface is of utmost importance. To visualize the fine localization of proteins adsorbed in mesoporous silica micro- and nanoparticles, we have employed specific transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analytical strategies based on the use of gold nanoparticles (GNPs) conjugates. GNPs are gaining in popularity, representing a fundamental tool to design future applications of MSNs in nanomedicine by realizing theranostic nanobioconjugates. It may be pointed out that we are at the very beginning of a new age of the nanomaterial science: the “mesoporous golden age„.
