Heart-targeted amelioration of sepsis-induced myocardial dysfunction by microenvironment responsive nitric oxide nanogenerators in situ.
Article in Journal of nanobiotechnology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers.
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
backgroundA balanced endogenous level of bioavailable nitric oxide (NO) plays a key role in maintaining cardiovascular homeostasis. The bioactive NO level in the cardiomyocytes was much reduced during sepsis. However, it is clinically challenging for the NO gas therapy due to the lack of spatial and temporal release system with precise control. The purpose of this study is to design a NO-releasing biomaterial with heart-targeted capability responsive to the infectious microenvironment, thus ameliorating lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced cardiac dysfunction.
resultsThe heart-targeted NO delivery and in situ releasing system, PCM-MSN@LA, was synthesized using hollow mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSN) as the carrier, and L-arginine (LA) as the NO donor. The myocardial delivery was successfully directed to heart by specific peptide (PCM) combined with low-intensity focused ultrasound (LIFU) guidance. The myocardial system synthesized NO from the LA released from PCM-MSN@LA in the presence of increased endogenous nitric oxide synthase (NOS) activity induced by LPS. This targeted NO release in situ achieved extraordinary protective effects against LPS-challenged myocardial injury by reducing the recruitment of inflammatory cells, inhibiting oxidative stress and maintaining the mitochondria integrity. In particular, this protection was not compromised by simultaneous circulation collapse as an adverse event in the context.
conclusionsPCM-MSN@LA + LIFU exhibited extraordinary cardioprotective effects against severe sepsis in the hearts of LPS-treated animals without the side effect of NO diffusion. This technology has great potential to be served as a novel therapeutic strategy for sepsis-induced myocardial injury.
