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 protein corona is a natural protein layer spontaneously formed around nanomaterials when exposed to biological media. This layer can alter the nanosystems' biological performance, particularly their tissue accumulation, cellular uptake, clearance by the immune system, toxicity, and even the release profile of their payloads. Hence, the characterization of this protein layer has become a critical step when developing a new nanomedicine. The modification of the nanosystem fate by the protein corona, systematically ignored in the vast majority of the nanotechnology-based research, may have contributed to the low in vitro/in vivo correlation. Actually, the protein corona of polymeric nanosystems has been scarcely studied in the literature, and most studies have been focused instead on metallic nanoparticles and liposomes. In this review, we analyzed the influence of the physicochemical properties and composition of the polymeric nanosystems on the protein layer deposited around them. In addition, we present some recommendations on how to perform the protein corona studies of polymeric nanoparticles, which, hopefully, will contribute to obtain more reliable and reproducible data in the future.
