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

Cytoplasmic delivery of bioactives requires the use of strategies such as active transport, electroporation, or the use of nanocarriers such as polymeric nanoparticles, liposomes, micelles, and dendrimers. It is essential to deliver bioactive molecules in the cytoplasm to achieve targeted effects by enabling organelle targeting. One of the biggest bottlenecks in the successful cytoplasmic delivery of bioactives through nanocarriers is their sequestration in the endosomes that leads to the degradation of drugs by progressing to lysosomes. In this review, we discussed mechanisms by which nanocarriers are endocytosed, the mechanisms of endosomal escape, and more importantly, the strategies that can be and have been employed for their escape from the endosomes are summarized. Like other nanocarriers, polymeric micelles can be designed for endosomal escape, however, a careful control is needed in their design to balance between the possible toxicity and endosomal escape efficiency. Keeping this in view, polyion complex micelles, and polymers that have the ability to escape the endosome, are fully discussed. Finally, we provided some perspectives for designing the polymeric micelles for efficient cytoplasmic delivery of bioactive agents through endosomal escape.
