Wrapping of Nano- and Microgels by Lipid-Bilayer Membranes.
Article in ACS macro letters, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
The wrapping of nano- and microparticles is a fundamentally important pathway for their cellular uptake and depends on the physicochemical properties of both particle and membrane. Polymeric gels are a versatile class of materials whose elastic properties can be tuned in a wide range from ultrasoft to hard by changing the density of cross-linkers. Using spring networks for the microgels and triangulated surfaces for the membranes, we study microgel wrapping with computer simulations. The interplay of microgel and membrane deformation is controlled by the competition between microgel elasticity and membrane bending rigidity. Compared with hard particles, the range of adhesion strengths for which partial-wrapped states are stable is enlarged. Volume and surface area of partial-wrapped microgels can be significantly reduced compared with those of free microgels. Understanding microgel wrapping can help us to design polymeric particles for biomedical applications, e.g., as membrane markers and targeted drug delivery vectors.
