Polymeric Particle BAM15 Targeting Macrophages Attenuates the Severity of LPS-Induced Sepsis: A Proof of Concept for Specific Immune Cell-Targeted Therapy.
Article in Pharmaceutics, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
Macrophage polarization requires different energy sources and metabolic processes. Therefore, cell energy interference to alter macrophage functions has been proposed as a treatment for severe inflammatory diseases, including sepsis. In this study, targeting cell energy using BAM15 (a mitochondrial uncoupling agent) in human THP-1 and mouse RAW264.7 macrophages prominently interfered with M1 but not M2 polarization. Free BAM15 (BAM15) and BAM15-loaded PLGA particles (BAM15 particles) reduced the inflammatory response of M1 macrophages and enhanced the expression of M2 signature genes with the restoration of mitochondrial activity (extracellular flux analysis) in RAW264.7 cells. Furthermore, BAM15 particles but not BAM15 showed specific effects on the inflammatory response of macrophages but not neutrophils, and the particles were actively captured by splenic and liver macrophages in vivo. Administration of BAM15 and BAM15 particles attenuated the severity of sepsis in LPS-induced sepsis mice. Interestingly, BAM15 particles but not BAM15 alleviated LPS-induced liver injury by reducing hepatic inflammation. Our findings substantiate the superior efficacy of macrophage-targeted therapy using a BAM15 particle-delivery system and provide further support for clinical development as a potential therapy for severe inflammatory diseases.
