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

Nanoparticles can be coated with targeting ligands to deliver medical agents to specific cells. Serum protein adsorption affects the binding of nanoparticles to target cells. We hypothesized that serum proteins and target receptors compete for binding to nanoparticles. We tested the serum protein binding affinity of 251 nanoparticle designs. Here, we discovered that the binding affinities of serum proteins and receptors to a nanoparticle determine whether it can bind to target cells. We developed and validated a quantitative metric, the binding ratio, to identify nanoparticle designs that can bind to targets in serum with 90% sensitivity and 88% specificity. Using the binding ratio as a numerical guideline for nanoparticle design enabled us to improve the efficiency of nanoparticle binding to target cellular receptors.
