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

Nanoparticles are widely used in commodities, and pregnant women are inevitably exposed to these particles. The placenta protects the growing fetus from foreign or toxic materials, and provides energy and oxygen. Here we report that autophagy, a cellular mechanism to maintain homeostasis, engulfs platinum nanoparticles (nPt) to reduce their cytotoxicity in trophoblasts. Autophagy was activated by nPt in extravillous trophoblast (EVT) cell lines, and EVT functions, such as invasion and vascular remodeling, and proliferation were inhibited by nPt. These inhibitory effects by nPt were augmented in autophagy-deficient cells. Regarding the dynamic state of nPt, analysis using ICP-MS demonstrated a higher accumulation of nPt in the autophagosome-rich than the cytoplasmic fraction in autophagy-normal cells. Meanwhile, there were more nPt in the nuclei of autophagy-deficient cells, resulting in greater DNA damage at a lower concentration of nPt. Thus, we found a new protective mechanism against the cytotoxicity of nPt in human trophoblasts.
