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

Human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (iPSC-CMs) are promising candidates for disease modeling and therapeutic purposes, however, non-viral intracellular delivery in these cells remains challenging. Gold nanoparticle (AuNP)-sensitized photoporation creates transient pores in the cell membrane by vapor nanobubble formation, allowing diffusion of extracellular biomolecules. This non-viral technique was employed to test and optimize its distinct physical mode of action in iPSC-CMs. Photoporation optimization was aimed at achieving high delivery rates while minimizing cell death. Various AuNP concentrations, in conjunction with different laser fluences, were explored to facilitate the intracellular delivery of 10 kDa and 150 kDa FITC-labelled dextran as model macromolecules. Cardiomyocyte viability was assessed using the CellTiter-Glo® viability assay, while the delivery efficiency was quantified through flow cytometry. On 30 day-old cardiomyocytes, AuNP photoporation was able to yield ∼60 % delivery efficiency while maintaining a high cell viability (∼70 %). Overall, higher AuNP concentrations resulted in greater delivery efficiencies, albeit at the expense of lower cell viability. Finally, photoporation was capable of patterning a geometric shape, demonstrating its exceptional selective resolution in delivering molecules to spatially restricted regions of the cell culture. In conclusion, AuNP-photoporation exhibits considerable potential as an effective and gentle non-viral method for intracellular delivery in iPSC-CMs.•AuNP-photoporation is a non-viral intracellular delivery method suitable for iPSC-CMs with high efficiency and cell viability•This method is capable of spatially resolved intracellular delivery with excellent resolution.
