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

Poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) particles are a widely used and extensively studied drug delivery system. The favorable properties of PLGA such as good bioavailability, controlled release, and an excellent safety profile due to the biodegradable polymer backbone qualified PLGA particles for approval by the authorities for the application as a drug delivery platform in humas. In recent years, immunotherapy has been established as a potent treatment option for a variety of diseases. However, immunomodulating drugs rely on targeted delivery to specific immune cell subsets and are often rapidly eliminated from the system. Loading of PLGA particles with drugs for immunotherapy can protect the therapeutic compounds from premature degradation, direct the drug delivery to specific tissues or cells, and ensure sustained and controlled drug release. These properties present PLGA particles as an ideal platform for immunotherapy. Here, we review recent advances of particulate PLGA delivery systems in the application for immunotherapy in the fields of allergy, autoimmunity, infectious diseases, and cancer.
