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

Targeted delivery of therapeutics for spinal cord injury (SCI) has been a long-term challenge due to the complexity of the pathological procession. Macrophage, as an immune cell, can selectively accumulate at the trauma site after SCI. This intrinsic targeting, coupled with good immune-escaping capacity makes macrophages an ideal source of biomimetic delivery carrier for SCI. Worth mentioning, macrophages have multiple polarization states, which may not be ignored when designing macrophage-based delivery systems. Herein, we fabricated macrophage membrane-camouflaged liposomes (RM-LIPs) and evaluated their abilities to extend drug circulation time and target the injured spinal cord. Specially, we detected the expression levels of the two main targeted receptors Mac-1 and integrin α4 in three macrophage subtypes, including unactivated (M0) macrophages, classically activated (M1) macrophages and alternatively activated (M2) macrophages, and compared targeting of these macrophage membrane-coated nanoparticles for SCI. The macrophage membrane camouflage decreased cellular uptake of liposomes in RAW264.7 immune cells and strengthened binding of the nanoparticle to the damaged endothelial cells
