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

Complement plays a critical role in the immune response toward nanomaterials. The complement attack on a foreign surface results in the deposition of C3, assembly of C3 convertases, the release of anaphylatoxins C3a and C5a, and finally, the formation of membrane attack complex C5b-9. Various technologies can measure complement activation markers in the fluid phase, but measurements of surface C3 deposition are less common. Previously, we developed an ultracentrifugation-based dot blot immunoassay (DBI) to measure the deposition of C3 and other protein corona components on nanoparticles. Here, we validate the repeatability of the DBI and its correlation with pathway-specific and common fluid phase markers. Moreover, we discuss the advantages of DBI, such as cost-effectiveness and versatility, while addressing potential limitations. This study provides insights into complement activation at the nanosurface level, offering a valuable tool for nanomedicine researchers in the field.
