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

The steady progress made over the past three decades in growing a variety of inorganic nanomaterials, with discreet control over their size and photophysical properties, has been exploited to develop several imaging and sensing applications. However, full integration of these materials into biology has been hampered by the complexity of delivering them into cells. In this report, we demonstrate the effectiveness of a chemically synthesized anticancer peptide to facilitate the rapid delivery of luminescent quantum dots (QDs) into live cells. We combine fluorescence imaging microscopy, flow cytometry, and specific endocytosis inhibition experiments to probe QD-peptide conjugate uptake by different cell lines. We consistently find that a sizable fraction of the internalized conjugates does not co-localize with endosomes or the nuclei. These findings are extremely promising for the potential integration of various nanomaterials into biological systems.
