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

Lymph nodes (LNs) are tissues of the immune system that house leukocytes, making them targets of interest for a variety of therapeutic immunomodulation applications. However, achieving accumulation of a therapeutic in the LN does not guarantee equal access to all leukocyte subsets. LNs are structured to enable sampling of lymph draining from peripheral tissues in a highly spatiotemporally regulated fashion in order to facilitate optimal adaptive immune responses. This structure results in restricted nanoscale drug delivery carrier access to specific leukocyte targets within the LN parenchyma. Herein, a framework is presented to assess the manner in which lymph-derived macromolecules and particles are sampled in the LN to reveal new insights into how therapeutic strategies or drug delivery systems may be designed to improve access to dLN-resident leukocytes. This summary analysis of previous reports from our group assesses model nanoscale fluorescent tracer association with various leukocyte populations across relevant time periods post administration, studies the effects of bioactive molecule NO on access of lymph-borne solutes to dLN leukocytes, and illustrates the benefits to leukocyte access afforded by lymphatic-targeted multistage drug delivery systems. Results reveal trends consistent with the consensus view of how lymph is sampled by LN leukocytes resulting from tissue structural barriers that regulate inter-LN transport and demonstrate how novel, engineered delivery systems may be designed to overcome these barriers to unlock the therapeutic potential of LN-resident cells as drug delivery targets.
