Intravenously administered iron oxide nanoparticles with different coatings reversibly perturb immune cells in peripheral blood without inducing toxicity in mice.

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
Introduction: Iron oxide nanoparticle formulations are widely used in clinical applications and have recently been explored for hyperthermia therapy, cancer imaging and treatment. Here, we report the effects of intravenously injected pegylated or poly acrylic acid decorated iron oxide nanoparticles coated with hydroxyethyl starch (HES) on host immune system and organs. These particles were compared with sucrose coated iron oxide nanoparticle (Venofer Methods: Toxicity analysis was performed in healthy female normal FVB/NJ mice 60 days after nanoparticle injection, with complete blood analysis conducted at multiple time-points. In a separate cohort, nanoparticle biodistribution 24 h post-intravenous injection was evaluated using a HER2 overexpressing breast cancer mouse model. Results: Toxicity analysis revealed no adverse effects on liver or kidneys with any of the tested formulations after 60 days. Immune cell perturbations were observed at early time points following iron oxide nanoparticle injection but normalized by the study endpoint. Biodistribution analysis demonstrated that the nanoparticle coating dictated their accumulation across various organs, with significant tumor accumulation observed for pegylated iron oxide nanoparticles and Venofer Conclusion: Iron oxide nanoparticle formulations exert a transient effect on the host immune system and some exhibit tumor accumulation, suggesting their potential for further development in cancer imaging and treatment.
