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

To investigate drug delivery in cancer therapy, we integrate fluorescence lifetime measurements, microspectrometry, and confocal laser scanning microscopy to track the uptake of inorganic-organic hybrid nanoparticles (IOH-NPs) by breast cancer cells over incubation periods ranging from 2 to 24 h. Non-radiative energy transfer (FRET) from the LysoTracker Green to the IOH-NPs confirms their lysosomal localization and possibly improves their optical excitation. Beyond the resolution limits of light and electron microscopy, fluorescence lifetime kinetics-including FRET-can thus reveal the nanoscale cellular localization of IOH-NPs and guide the optimization of fluorescence excitation. Here, we extend optical microscopy into a fifth dimension-picosecond fluorescence decay times-complementing 3D spatial and spectral information, establishing lifetime measurements as a versatile tool to study nanoparticle uptake in cancer therapy.
