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

backgroundUnderstanding the in vivo size-dependent pharmacokinetics and toxicity of nanoparticles is crucial to determine their successful development. Systematic studies on the size-dependent biological effects of nanoparticles not only help to unravel unknown toxicological mechanism but also contribute to the possible biological applications of nanomaterial.

methodsIn this study, the biodistribution and the size-dependent biological effects of Fe

resultsOur findings indicated that biodistribution and biological activities of Fe@Si-NPs demonstrated the obvious size-dependent and tissue-specific effects. Spleen and liver are the target tissues of Fe@Si-NPs, and 20 nm of Fe@Si-NPs showed a possible longer blood circulation time. Quantitative biochemical analysis showed that the alterations of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and uric acid (UA) were correlated to some extent with the sizes of Fe@Si-NPs. The untargeted metabolomic analyses of tissue metabolomes (kidney, liver, lung, and spleen) indicated that different sizes of Fe@Si-NPs were involved in the different biochemical mechanisms. LDH, formate, uric acid, and GSH related metabolites were suggested as sensitive indicators for the size-dependent toxic effects of Fe@Si-NPs. The findings from serum biochemical analysis and metabolomic analysis corroborate each other. Thus we proposed a toxicity hypothesis that size-dependent NAD depletion may occur in vivo in response to nanoparticle exposure. To our knowledge, this is the first report that links size-dependent biological effects of nanoparticles with in vivo NAD depletion in rats.

conclusionThe integrated metabolomic approach is an effective tool to understand physiological responses to the size-specific properties of nanoparticles. Our results can provide a direction for the future biological applications of Fe@Si-NPs.
