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

Selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) exhibit significant potential in biomedical applications due to their antimicrobial, anticancer, and anti-inflammatory properties. In this study, we synthesized biocompatible SeNPs and employed confocal Raman microspectroscopy to map their distribution within human dermal fibroblast (HDF) cells. SeNPs possess a distinctive Raman band placed outside the cellular fingerprint region, which facilitates its detection and precise Raman imaging. Viability assays revealed that SeNPs exhibit cytotoxic effects only at the highest concentrations and for long exposure times while resulting in no harmful effects during all of the other treatments. For the first time, we achieved three-dimensional (3D) Raman mapping of SeNPs within cells, providing insights into their cellular penetration. Additionally, two-dimensional (2D) Raman mapping performed at different times and at sublethal concentrations demonstrated dynamic uptake and confirmed internalization. These findings highlight the effectiveness of SeNPs for biomedical imaging and therapeutic applications, offering an additional approach to studying nanoparticle-cell interactions.
