Complement-dependent uptake of nanoparticles by blood phagocytes: brief overview and perspective.
Review in Current opinion in biotechnology, 2024. 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
Immune recognition and uptake of nanoparticles remain the hot topic in nanomedicine research. Complement is the central player in the immune recognition of engineered nanoparticles. Here, we summarize the accumulated knowledge on the role of complement in the interactions of nanomaterials with blood phagocytes. We describe the interplay between surface properties, complement opsonization, and immune uptake, primarily of iron oxide nanoparticles. We discuss the rigor of the published research and further identify the following knowledge gaps: 1) the role of complement in the variability of uptake of nanomaterials in healthy and diseased subjects, and 2) modulation of complement interactions to improve the performance of nanomaterials. Addressing these gaps is critical to improving translational chances of nanomaterials for drug delivery and imaging applications.
