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

T cells play important roles in various immune reactions, and their activation is necessary for cancer immunotherapy. Previously, we showed that polyamidoamine (PAMAM) dendrimers modified with 1,2-cyclohexanedicarboxylic acid (CHex) and phenylalanine (Phe) underwent effective uptake by various immune cells, including T cells and their subsets. In this study, we synthesized various carboxy-terminal dendrimers modified with different bound numbers of Phe and investigated the association of these dendrimers with T cells to evaluate the influence of terminal Phe density. Carboxy-terminal dendrimers conjugating Phe at more than half of the termini exhibited a higher association with T cells and other immune cells. The carboxy-terminal Phe-modified dendrimers at 75% Phe density tended to exhibit the highest association with T cells and other immune cells, which was related to their association with liposomes. A model drug, protoporphyrin IX (PpIX), was encapsulated into carboxy-terminal Phe-modified dendrimers, which were then used for drug delivery into T cells. Our results suggest the carboxy-terminal Phe-modified dendrimers are useful for delivery into T cells.
