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

Selective delivery of nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) activators to the injured vasculature at the time of vascular surgical intervention has the potential to attenuate oxidative stress and decrease vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) hyperproliferation and migration towards the inner vessel wall. To this end, we developed a nanoformulation of cinnamic aldehyde (CA), termed Antioxidant Response Activating nanoParticles (ARAPas), that can be readily loaded into macrophages ex vivo. The CA-ARAPas-macrophage system was used to study the effects of CA on VSMC in culture. CA was encapsulated into a pluronic micelle that was readily loaded into both murine and human macrophages. CA-ARAPas inhibits VSMC proliferation and migration, and activates Nrf2. Macrophage-mediated transfer of CA-ARAPas to VSMC is evident after 12 h, and Nrf2 activation is apparent after 24 h. This is the first report, to the best of our knowledge, of CA encapsulation in pluronic micelles for macrophage-mediated delivery studies. The results of this study highlight the feasibility of CA encapsulation and subsequent macrophage uptake for delivery of cargo into other pertinent cells, such as VSMC.
