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 aim of this study is to prepare and characterize an amino-dextran nanoparticle (aDNP) platform and investigate two loading strategies for unmethylated cytosine-phosphate-guanine (CpG) oligonucleotide. aDNP was prepared by desolvation of amino-dextran followed by the chemical crosslinking of amino groups. Size, surface charge, and surface morphology of aDNP was determined by dynamic light scattering and transmission electron microscopy. CpG was either loaded onto aDNP by adsorption (CpG-adsorbed-aDNP) or conjugated to aDNP (CpG-conjugated-aDNP). In vitro cytokine production by bone marrow-derived dendritic cells (BMDCs) was measured by flow cytometry. aDNPs size and zeta potential could be controlled to produce uniform particles in the size range of 50 to 300 nm, surface charge of -16.5 to +14 mV, and were spherical in shape. Formulation control parameters investigated included the anti-solvent, water-to-anti-solvent ratio, level of amine functionality of dextran, and the molar ratio of glutaraldehyde to amine. aDNP could be lyophilized without additional cryoprotectant. Unloaded cationic aDNP (+13 mV) showed acceptable in vitro hemolysis. Unloaded and CpG-loaded aDNPs showed no cytotoxicity on BMDCs. CpG-loaded nanoparticles stimulated cytokine production by BMDCs, the level of cytokine production was higher for CpG-conjugated-aDNP compared to CpG-absorbed-aDNP. aDNP is a promising new drug delivery platform as its offers versatility in loading and tuning of particle properties.
