Examining the effect of ions and proteins on the heat dissipation of iron oxide nanocrystals.

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.
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
In this paper, the effect and contribution of physiological components like ions and proteins under an applied alternating magnetic field (AMF) towards heat dissipation of superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) are discussed. Our results have shown that under an applied AMF, magnetic hyperthermia efficiency could be significantly enhanced if SPIONs were suspended in 1× phosphate buffered saline (PBS) compared to a suspension in de-ionized (DI) water. However, no heat enhancement was found when SPIONs were suspended in blood which is an amalgamation of physiological ions and proteins. Closer investigations have revealed that the presence of physiological ions can contribute positively to heating efficiency, and the heating efficiency increases with concentration of ions, ionic mass and solubility. However, the heating efficiency of ions can be suppressed to an insignificant level (comparable with measurement error), in the presence of physiological proteins in 1×PBS. Our electrochemical studies also showed that ionic mobility can be reduced significantly if proteins were present in the solution, thus retarding the heating efficiency.
