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

Nanomedicines based on polyethylene glycol-functionalized gold nanoparticles (Au@PEG NPs) are usually administered by intravenous injection to improve bioavailability. It is widely accepted that surface modification with PEG can prevent direct interactions between AuNPs and proteins. Therefore, the interaction of Au@PEG NPs with plasma proteins and blood cells has not received enough attention. Our previous study demonstrated that Au@PEG NPs affect the oxygen-carrying capacity and deformability of erythrocytes through oxidative stress; however, the molecular mechanism of oxidative damage induced by Au@PEG NPs remains unclear. Due to the absence of cell organelles such as the nucleus and mitochondria in mature erythrocytes, we hypothesise that Au@PEG NPs primarily generate oxidative stress by interfere with metabolic flux in erythrocytes. We have employed dynamic light scattering (DLS), isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) and surface plasmon resonance imaging (SPRi) to investigate the interaction between proteins and 30 nm Au@PEG NPs. ITC and SPRi data revealed that hemoglobin exhibits a higher affinity for 30 nm Au@PEG NPs compared to albumin (Ka: 1.46 × 10
