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 expansion of nanotechnology for drug delivery applications has raised questions regarding the safety of nanoparticles (NPs) due to their potential for interacting at molecular and cellular levels. Although polymeric NPs for drug delivery are formulated using FDA-approved polymers such as lactide- and glycolide-based polymers, their interactions with blood constituents, remain to be identified. The aim of this study was to determine the impact of size-selected Poly-lactide-co-glycolide-polyethylene glycol (PLGA-PEG) NPs on platelet activity. The NPs of 113, 321, and 585 nm sizes, were formulated and their effects at concentrations of 0-2.2 mg/mL on the activation and aggregation of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) were investigated. The results showed that NPs of 113 nm did not affect adenosine diphosphate (ADP)-induced platelet aggregation at any NP concentration studied. The NPs of 321 and 585 nm, at concentrations ≥0.25 mg/mL, reduced ADP-activated platelet aggregation. The platelet activation profile remained unchanged in the presence of investigated NPs. Confocal microscopy revealed that NPs were attached to or internalised by platelets in both resting and activated states, with no influence on platelet reactivity. The results indicate minimal risks of interference with platelet function for PLGA-PEG NPs and that these NPs can be explored as nanocarriers for targeted drug delivery to platelets.
