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

Posterior capsular opacification (PCO), the most common complication after cataract surgery, is caused by the proliferation, migration and differentiation of residual lens epithelial cells (LECs) on the surface of the intraocular lens (IOL). Although drug-loaded IOLs have been successfully developed, the PCO prevention efficacy is still limited due to the lack of targeting and low bioavailability. In this investigation, an exosome-functionalized drug-loaded IOL was successfully developed for effective PCO prevention utilizing the homologous targeting and high biocompatibility of exosome. The exosomes derived from LECs were collected to load the anti-proliferative drug doxorubicin (Dox) through electroporation and then immobilized on the aminated IOLs surface through electrostatic interaction. In vitro experiments showed that significantly improved cellular uptake of Dox@Exos by LECs was achieved due to the targeting ability of exosome, compared with free Dox, thus resulting in superior anti-proliferation effect. In vivo animal investigations indicated that Dox@Exos-IOLs effectively inhibited the development of PCO and showed excellent intraocular biocompatibility. We believe that this work will provide a targeting strategy for PCO prevention through exosome-functionalized IOL.
