Epidermal SR-A Complexes Are Lipid Raft Based and Promote Nucleic Acid Nanoparticle Uptake.
Article in The Journal of investigative dermatology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Scavenger receptors clear pathogens, transport lipid, and mediate polyanionic ligand uptake in macrophages, but their expression and role in the skin are poorly understood. Although the epidermal barrier typically excludes nucleic acid entry, topically applied, spherically arranged oligonucleotide nanoconjugates (spherical nucleic acids [SNAs]) penetrate mouse skin, three-dimensional (3D) skin equivalents, and human skin. We explored the mechanism of SNA uptake in normal human epidermal keratinocytes and 3D skin equivalents. Normal human epidermal keratinocytes and 3D raft treatment with SR-A inhibitors reduced SNA uptake by >80%. The human epidermis expresses SR-As SCARA3 and, to a lesser extent, MARCO. Simultaneous lentiviral knockdown of SCARA3 and MARCO reduced SNA uptake in normal human epidermal keratinocytes and 3D rafts after topical application, affirming a role for SR-As in SNA uptake and 3D raft penetration.
