An Intravascular Magnetic Catheter Enables the Retrieval of Nanoagents from the Bloodstream.
Article in Advanced science (Weinheim, Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany), 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 27 papers.
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.
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
The clinical adoption of nanoscale agents for targeted therapy is still hampered by the quest for a balance between therapy efficacy and side effects on healthy tissues, due to nanoparticle biodistribution and undesired drug accumulation issues. Here, an intravascular catheter able to efficiently retrieve from the bloodstream magnetic nanocarriers not contributing to therapy, thus minimizing their uncontrollable dispersion and consequently attenuating possible side effects, is proposed. The device consists of a miniature module, based on 27 permanent magnets arranged in two coaxial series, integrated into a clinically used 12 French catheter. This device can capture ≈94% and 78% of the unused agents when using as carriers 500 and 250 nm nominal diameter superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles, respectively. This approach paves the way to the exploitation of new "high-risk/high-gain" drug formulations and supports the development of novel therapeutic strategies based on magnetic hyperthermia or magnetic microrobots.
