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

Mutual interference between surface ligands on multifunctional nanoparticles remains a significant obstacle to achieving optimal drug-delivery efficacy. Here, we develop ligand-switchable nanoparticles which resemble viral unique surfaces, enabling them to fully display diverse functions. The nanoparticles are modified with a pH-responsive stretchable cell-penetrating peptide (Pep) and a liver-targeting moiety (Gal) (Pep/Gal-PNPs). Once orally administered, the acidic environments trigger the extension of Pep from surface in a virus-like manner, enabling Pep/Gal-PNPs to traverse intestinal barriers efficiently. Subsequently, Gal is exposed by Pep folding at physiological pH, thereby allowing the specific targeting of Pep/Gal-PNPs to the liver. As a proof-of-concept, insulin-loaded Pep/Gal-PNPs are fabricated which exhibit effective intestinal absorption and excellent hepatic deposition of insulin. Crucially, Pep/Gal-PNPs increase hepatic glycogen production by 7.2-fold, contributing to the maintenance of glucose homeostasis for effective diabetes management. Overall, this study provides a promising approach to achieving full potential of diverse ligands on multifunctional nanoparticles.
