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

Cucurbiturils (CB[n]s) are nanoscale macrocyclic compounds capable of encapsulating a molecule or part of a molecule by forming host-guest complexes. Integration of drugs with CB[n] is used for the following purposes: controlling clearance; protection of the drug from biodegradation; targeted delivery to specific organs, tissues, or cells; reduction of toxicity; and improving solubility. One of the major problems encountered in the application of new drug delivery systems is lack of knowledge of their biological properties. CB[n], unlike many other often toxic nanoparticles, has extremely low toxicity, even at high doses. However, many aspects of the biological actions of these nanoscale cavitands remain unclear, including the immunotropic properties. In this study, we investigated the immunotoxicity and immunomodulation properties of CB[n]. It was found that CB[7] and CB[6] did not decrease the viability of mononuclear cells at all tested concentrations from 0.1-1 mM. Overall, the results indicated an immunomodulatory effect of different concentrations of CB[n]. In the case of a longer cultivation time, CB[n] had an immunostimulating effect, which was indicated by an enhancement of the proliferative activity of cells and increased expression of HLA-DR on lymphocytes.
