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

In keeping with the rapid expansion of nanoparticle applications, various tools are required to investigate how nanoparticles interact with biological entities. Many assays have been developed to measure the cellular uptake of nanoparticles, but so far most of the methods are laborious and often non-quantitative. Here we developed an easily accessible and robust quantitative measurement method of the level of cellular uptake of fluorescently labeled nanoparticles using a plate reader. In the experimental design, potential issues that could lead to measurement variation were identified and addressed. For example, the variation in fluorescence intensity of samples due to differences in cell number was normalized to optical density, which is a physical value corresponding to the cell number. Number of washings and sample handling temperature were optimized to minimize the interference by residual nanoparticles and possible efflux of nanoparticles from cells, respectively. The developed assay was demonstrated with the lymphocyte cell line Jurkat to measure the cellular uptake of fluorescently labeled 50 nm polystyrene beads, and its applicability was further confirmed with the lung carcinoma cell line A549 and another lymphocyte cell line RPMI8226.
