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

Assessing if compounds with intracellular targets reach their site of action is crucial for success in drug development. Cell type-specific uptake goes beyond permeability studies, typically mimicking crossing the gut, the lung, or the blood-brain barrier. A medium- to high-throughput cellular accumulation protocol in 96-well format is presented using six compounds, evaluating optimal conditions varying several parameters, such as incubation time, compound concentration, and extraction protocol. An optimized assay protocol for cellular accumulation of distinct chemical classes is a compromise: No one-extraction-protocol-fits-all exists; equally, some compounds need longer incubation periods to reach maximal intracellular concentration. Reliable high performance liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry based quantification of cellular accumulation for all six compounds to the nM range is achieved with a short 1 h incubation. Intracellular concentrations per cell count are determined in A549
