Microvilli Adhesion: An Alternative Route for Nanoparticle Cell Internalization.
Article in ACS nano, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers.
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.
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
The cellular uptake of nanoparticles (NPs) represents a critical step in nanomedicine and a crucial point for understanding the interaction of nanomaterials with biological systems. No specific mechanism of uptake has been identified so far, as the NPs are generally incorporated by the cells through one of the few well-known endocytotic mechanisms. Here, an alternative internalization route mediated by microvilli adhesion is demonstrated. This microvillus-mediated adhesion (MMA) has been observed using ceria and magnetite NPs with a dimension of <40 nm functionalized with polyacrylic acid but not using NPs with a neutral or positive functionalization. Such an adhesion was not cell specific, as it was demonstrated in three different cell lines. MMA was also reduced by modifications of the microvillus lipid rafts, obtained by depleting cholesterol and altering synthesis of sphingolipids. We found a direct relationship between MAA, cell cycle, and density of microvilli. The evidence suggests that MMA differs from the commonly described uptake mechanisms and might represent an interesting alternative approach for selective NP delivery.
