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

A nanoparticle (NP) immersed in biological media rapidly forms a corona of adsorbed proteins, which later controls the eventual fate of the particle and the route through which adverse outcomes may occur. The composition and timescale for the formation of this corona are both highly dependent on both the NP and its environment. The deposition of proteins on the surface of the NP can be imitated by a process of random sequential adsorption, and, based on this model, we develop a rate-equation treatment for the formation of a corona represented by hard spheres on spherical and cylindrical NPs. We find that the geometry of the NP significantly alters the composition of the corona through a process independent of the rate constants assumed for adsorption and desorption of proteins, with the radius and shape of the NP both influencing the corona. We further investigate the roles of protein mobility on the surface of the NP and changes in the concentration of proteins.
