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 offer a promising strategy for targeted drug delivery while reducing off-target toxicity. Biomimetic nanoparticles, which integrate native cell components, enhance biological compatibility but often suffer from poorly defined protein compositions that hinder reproducibility and clinical translation. Here, we present a next-generation biomimetic approach to engineer Particular Nanoparticles (PNPs)- formulation enriched with specific, functionally relevant membrane proteins for precise control and tunability. We incorporated leukocyte adhesion proteins (including CD18, CD11a, and CD11b) into the nanoparticle membrane to enhance targeting of inflamed sites. Using a 2D microfluidic model that mimics human blood vessels, adhesion-enriched PNPs demonstrated significantly improved endothelial interactions and greater accumulation under flow at inflamed endothelium compared to conventional Leukosomes. This protein-defined biomimetic nanoparticle platform offers enhanced targeting efficiency, improved reproducibility, and translational potential for inflammation-targeted therapies.
