Surface Geometry of Cargo-less Gold Nanoparticles Is a Driving Force for Selective Targeting of Activated Neutrophils to Reduce Thrombosis in Antiphospholipid Syndrome.
Article in Nano letters, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
Antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is an autoimmune disease characterized by recurrent arterial, venous, and microvascular thrombosis where activated neutrophils play a determinant role. However, neutrophils are challenging to target given their short lifespan in circulation and spontaneous activation. Screening of a small library of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) led to the discovery of a formulation capable of targeting activated neutrophil attachment and has demonstrated that star-shaped, anti-PSGL-1-antibody-coated AuNPs (aPSGL-1-AuNPs) were more efficacious compared with other shapes of AuNPs. Our findings further revealed an exciting and safe targeting mode toward activated neutrophils in the APS mouse model induced by human-patient-derived antiphospholipid IgGs. Our studies demonstrate that targeting is dependent on the specific topographical features of the highly segregated PSGL-1 on the activated neutrophil surface for which a high affinity shape-driven nanomedicine can be designed and implemented. As such, star-shaped aPSGL-1-AuNPs serve as a promising nanoimmunotherapy for immunothrombosis associated with neutrophil adhesion in APS.
