Ultrasound-Aided Targeting Nanoparticles Loaded with miR-181b for Anti-Inflammatory Treatment of TNF-α-Stimulated Endothelial Cells.
Article in ACS omega, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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
Gene therapy is an emerging therapeutic strategy used in clinics. Ultrasound-mediated gene transfection possesses great potential as a secure and available approach for gene delivery. However, transfection efficiency and targeting ability remain challenging. In this study, we developed a kind of ultrasound-aided and targeting nanoparticles for microRNA delivery. These nanoparticles carrying nucleic acids were prepared with cationic poly-(amino acid) encapsulated with perfluoropentane. The formulated nanoparticles were stabilized with negatively charged PGA-PEG-RGD peptide coating. Ultrasound imaging and specific gene transfection using this nanocarrier could be implemented simultaneously. Upon treatment with ultrasound irradiation, phase transition was induced in the nanoparticles and they generated acoustic cavitation, resulting in enhanced gene transfection against the endothelial cells. With the overexpression of miR-181b loaded by the nanoparticles, the TNF-α-stimulated endothelial cells were effectively rescued from the inflammatory state through the protection of cell viability and suppression of cell adhesion.
