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

Control over intracellular release of therapeutic compounds incorporated into nano-carriers will open new possibilities for targeted treatments of various diseases including cancer, and viral and bacterial infections. Here we report our study on mechanoresponsive nano-sized liposomes which, following internalization by cells, achieve intracellular delivery of encapsulated cargo on application of external ultrasound stimulus. This is demonstrated in a bespoke cell reporter system designed to assess free drug in cytoplasm. Biophysical analyses show that drug release is attributable to the action of a mechanoresponsive spiropyran-based compound embedded in the liposomal lipid membrane. Exposure to external ultrasound stimulus results in opening of the molecular structure of the embedded spiropyran, a consequent increase in liposomal lipid membrane fluidity, and size-dependent release of encapsulated model drugs, all pointing to lipid bilayer perturbation. The study hence illustrates feasibility of the proposed concept where intracellular drug release from mechanoresponsive liposomes can be triggered on demand by external ultrasound stimulus.
