Kupffer cells determine intrahepatic traffic of PEGylated liposomal doxorubicin.
Article in Nature communications, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 25 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
Intrahepatic accumulation dominates organ distribution for most nanomedicines. However, obscure intrahepatic fate largely hampers regulation on their in vivo performance. Herein, PEGylated liposomal doxorubicin is exploited to clarify the intrahepatic fate of both liposomes and the payload in male mice. Kupffer cells initiate and dominate intrahepatic capture of liposomal doxorubicin, following to deliver released doxorubicin to hepatocytes with zonated distribution along the lobule porto-central axis. Increasing Kupffer cells capture promotes doxorubicin accumulation in hepatocytes, revealing the Kupffer cells capture-payload release-hepatocytes accumulation scheme. In contrast, free doxorubicin is overlooked by Kupffer cells, instead quickly distributing into hepatocytes by directly crossing fenestrated liver sinusoid endothelium. Compared to free doxorubicin, liposomal doxorubicin exhibits sustained metabolism/excretion due to the extra capture-release process. This work unveils the pivotal role of Kupffer cells in intrahepatic traffic of PEGylated liposomal therapeutics, and quantitively describes the intrahepatic transport/distribution/elimination process, providing crucial information for guiding further development of nanomedicines.
