Vibratome sectioning of tumors to evaluate the interactions between nanoparticles and the tumor microenvironment ex-vivo.

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
Nanoparticles have been investigated as drug carriers and promising agents for cancer therapy. However, the tumor microenvironment (TME), which is formed by the tumor, is considered a barrier for nanocarriers to enter the internal tumor tissue. Therefore, the evaluation of the biological distribution of nanocarriers in TME can provide useful information on their role in tumor-targeted drug delivery. Although the tumor-bearing mouse model is commonly used to investigate the distribution of nanocarriers in the TME, there is currently a lack of a testing system to predict the distribution of nanocarriers in tumor tissues, especially in patients. This study revealed that the macrophages and dendritic cells (DCs) were more distributed in the peripheral part than the central part of the tumor, which might be an obstacle to the uniform distribution of nanoparticles in the tumor. In addition, the cellular uptake of gold nanoparticles (AuNR and AuNS) in macrophages and DCs cell lines (RAW264.7 and DC1.2) was markedly different from that in the TME. Hence, the study model of the interaction between nanoparticles and macrophages and DCs has an important impact on the accuracy of the results. The vibratome sections of tumor tissues preserved the spatial distribution of immune cells and tumor cells, and had very little effects on their morphologies and activities. More importantly, we found that the distribution of nanocarriers in vibratome sections was similar to that in tumors
