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

Recent technical innovation has enabled chemical modifications of small materials and various kinds of nanoparticles have been created. In clinical settings, nanoparticle-mediated drug delivery systems have been used in the field of cancer care to deliver therapeutic agents specifically to cancer tissues and to enhance the efficacy of drugs by gradually releasing their contents. In addition, nanotechnology has enabled the visualization of various molecular processes by targeting proteinases or inflammation. Nanoparticles that consist of poly (lactic-co-glycolic) acid (PLGA) deliver therapeutic agents to monocytes/macrophages and function as anti-inflammatory nanoparticles in combination with statins, angiotensin receptor antagonists, or agonists of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ (PPARγ). PLGA nanoparticle-mediated delivery of pitavastatin has been shown to prevent inflammation and ameliorated features associated with plaque ruptures in hyperlipidemic mice. PLGA nanoparticles were also delivered to tissues with increased vascular permeability and nanoparticles incorporating pitavastatin, injected intramuscularly, were retained in ischemic tissues and induced therapeutic arteriogenesis. This resulted in attenuation of hind limb ischemia. Ex vivo treatment of vein grafts with imatinib nanoparticles before graft implantation has been demonstrated to inhibit lesion development. These results suggest that nanoparticle-mediated drug delivery system can be a promising strategy as a next generation therapy for atherosclerotic vascular diseases.
