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

aimsOne major challenge is to quantify intact nanoparticles specifically to understand the pharmacokinetics (PK) of nanomedicines. Lipid nanocapsules (LNC) carrying Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) trackers have been previously developed, and a quantification method has been applied in blood samples. MATERIALS &

methodA quantification method in liver, spleen, and lungs was developed, and the biodistribution of intact FRET-LNC of 50 nm (FRET-LNC-50) in rats after intravenous injection was performed.

resultsFRET-LNC-50 were extracted from organs using a newly developed extraction method, allowing their integrity preservation and quantification. This method allowed the assessment of the biodistribution study of intact LNC. A non-compartmental PK analysis was performed to calculate PK parameters. The most exposed organ was the liver, with a longer half-life than blood and other organs. The availability of specific biodistribution data allowed the development of the first physiologically based PK (PBPK) model, which represents an ideal platform to further aggregate biodistribution data from various nanoparticle types and to bring insight into PK mechanisms and structure-properties relationships of nanoparticles.

conclusionThis study presents the first biodistribution analysis of intact LNC using a validated quantification method, enabling the development of a PBPK model that improves the understanding of nanoparticle PK mechanisms.
