Glucocorticoid Nanoparticles Show Full Therapeutic Efficacy in a Mouse Model of Acute Lung Injury and Concomitantly Reduce Adverse Effects.
Article in International journal of molecular sciences, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Glucocorticoids (GCs) are widely used to treat inflammatory disorders such as acute lung injury (ALI). Here, we explored inorganic-organic hybrid nanoparticles (IOH-NPs) as a new delivery vehicle for GCs in a mouse model of ALI. Betamethasone (BMZ) encapsulated into IOH-NPs (BNPs) ameliorated the massive infiltration of neutrophils into the airways with a similar efficacy as the free drug. This was accompanied by a potent inhibition of pulmonary gene expression and secretion of pro-inflammatory mediators, whereas the alveolar-capillary barrier integrity was only restored by BMZ in its traditional form. Experiments with genetically engineered mice identified myeloid cells and alveolar type II (AT II) cells as essential targets of BNPs in ALI therapy, confirming their high cell-type specificity. Consequently, adverse effects were reduced when using IOH-NPs for GC delivery. BNPs did not alter T and B cell numbers in the blood and also prevented the induction of muscle atrophy after three days of treatment. Collectively, our data suggest that IOH-NPs target GCs to myeloid and AT II cells, resulting in full therapeutic efficacy in the treatment of ALI while being associated with reduced adverse effects.
