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

Solid lipid nanoparticles (SLN) present low toxicity, versatility to incorporate both lipophilic and hydrophilic drugs, controlled drug release and they are easy to scale-up. It is well known that the endocytosis pathway by which SLN are taken up and the subsequent subcellular distribution are crucial for the biological effect of the incorporated drug. In addition, interactions between SLN and cells depend on many factors, such as, the composition of nanoparticle surface. In this work different amounts of phosphatidylethanolamine polyethylene glycol (PE⁻PEG) were added to SLN composed of stearic acid, Epikuron 200 and sodium taurodeoxycholate. Characterization of obtained nanoparticle suspensions were performed by the analysis of particle size, polydispersity index, ζ-potential, cell toxicity and cell internalization pathway. We have observed that the presence of PE⁻PEG improves active cell internalization of the nanoparticles in an oral adenocarcinoma cell line, reducing non-specific internalization mechanisms. Finally, we have tested the effect of surface coating on the efficiency of incorporated drugs using all-trans retinoic acid as a model drug. We have observed that delivery of this drug into PE⁻PEG coated SLN increases its chemotoxic effect compared to non-coated SLN. Therefore, it can be concluded that surface modification with PE⁻PEG improves the efficiency and the specificity of the SLN-loaded drug.
