Analysis of nanomaterial biocoronas in biological and environmental surroundings.
Review in Nature protocols, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 21 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
A biomolecular coating, or biocorona, forms on the surface of engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) immediately as they enter biological or environmental systems, defining their biological and environmental identity and influencing their fate and performance. This biomolecular layer includes proteins (the protein corona) and other biomolecules, such as nucleic acids and metabolites. To ensure a meaningful and reproducible analysis of the ENMs-associated biocorona, it is essential to streamline procedures for its preparation, separation, identification and characterization, so that studies in different labs can be easily compared, and the information collected can be used to predict the composition, dynamics and properties of biocoronas acquired by other ENMs. Most studies focus on the protein corona as proteins are easier to monitor and characterize than other biomolecules and play crucial roles in receptor engagement and signaling; however, metabolites play equally critical roles in signaling. Here we describe how to reproducibly prepare and characterize biomolecule-coated ENMs, noting especially the steps that need optimization for different types of ENMs. The structure and composition of the biocoronas are characterized using general methods (transmission electron microscopy, dynamic light scattering, capillary electrophoresis-mass spectrometry and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry) as well as advanced techniques, such as transmission electron cryomicroscopy, synchrotron-based X-ray absorption near edge structure and circular dichroism. We also discuss how to use molecular dynamic simulation to study and predict the interaction between ENMs and biomolecules and the resulting biocorona composition. The application of this protocol can provide mechanistic insights into the formation, composition and evolution of the ENM biocorona, ultimately facilitating the biomedical and agricultural application of ENMs and a better understanding of their impact in the environment.
