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

In this paper, cellular management of fluorescent nanodiamonds (FNDs) has been studied for better understanding in the design for potential applications of FNDs in biomedicine. The FNDs have shown to be photostable probes for bioimaging and thus are well-suited, for example, long-term tracking purposes. The FNDs also exhibit good biocompatibility and, in general, low toxicity for cell labeling. To demonstrate the underlying mechanism of cells coping the low but potentially toxic effects by nondegradable FNDs, we have studied their temporal intracellular trafficking. The FNDs were observed to be localized as distinct populations inside cells in early endosomes, lysosomes, and in proximity to the plasma membrane. The localization of FNDs in early endosomes suggests the internalization of FNDs, and lysosomal localization, in turn, can be interpreted as a prestate for exocytosis via lysosomal degradation pathway. The endocytosis and exocytosis appear to be occurring simultaneously in our observations. The mechanism of continuous endocytosis and exocytosis of FNDs could be necessary for cells to maintain normal proliferation. Furthermore, 120 h cell growth assay was performed to verify the long-term biocompatibility of FNDs for cellular studies.
