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

backgroundThe limitations of optical microscopy to determine the cellular localization of label-free nanoparticles prevent a solid prediction of the cellular effect of particles intended for medical applications. To avoid the strong physicochemical changes associated with fluorescent labelling, which often result in differences in cellular uptake, efficiency and toxicity of particles, novel detection techniques are required.

methodsIn the present study, we determined the intracellular content of unlabeled SPIONs by analyzing refractive index (RI)-based images from holotomographic three-dimensional (3D) microscopy and side scatter data measured by flow cytometry. The results were compared with the actual cellular SPION amount as quantified by atomic emission spectroscopy (AES).

resultsLive cell imaging by 3D holotomographic microscopy demonstrated cell-specific differences in intracellular nanoparticle uptake in different pancreatic cell lines. Thus, treatment of PANC-1

conclusionHolotomographic 3D microscopy is a useful method to distinguish between intracellular and membrane-associated particles. Thus, it provides a valuable tool for scientists to evaluate the cellular localization and the particle load, which facilitates prediction of potential toxicity and efficiency of nanoparticles for medical applications.
