Leveraging Tunable Nanoparticle Surface Functionalization to Alter Cellular Migration.
Article in ACS nanoscience Au, 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
Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) are a promising platform for biomedical applications including therapeutics, imaging, and drug delivery. While much of the literature surrounding the introduction of AuNPs into cellular systems focuses on uptake and cytotoxicity, less is understood about how AuNPs can indirectly affect cells via interactions with the extracellular environment. Previous work has shown that the monocytic cell line THP-1's ability to undergo chemotaxis in response to a gradient of monocyte chemoattractant protein 1 (MCP-1) was compromised by extracellular polysulfonated AuNPs, presumably by binding to MCP-1 with some preference over other proteins in the media. The hypothesis to be explored in this work is that the degree of sulfonation of the surface would therefore be correlated with the ability of AuNPs to interrupt chemotaxis. Highly sulfonated poly(styrenesulfonate)-coated AuNPs caused strong inhibition of THP-1 chemotaxis; by reducing the degree of sulfonation on the AuNP surface with copolymers [poly(styrenesulfonate-
