Plate reader spectroscopy as an alternative to atomic absorption spectroscopy for the assessment of nanoparticle cellular uptake.
Article in Heliyon, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Fundamental studies investigating the biological effects induced by nanoparticles (NPs) explicitly require the correct assessment of their intracellular concentration. Ultrasensitive atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) is perceived as one of the gold standard methods for quantifying internalized NPs. Besides its limitation to metal-based NPs though, AAS also requires specific infrastructure and tedious sample preparation and handling, making it time-consuming and cost-intensive. Herein we report on a reliable, rapid, and affordable alternative to AAS - plate reader spectroscopy (PRS), which offers an accessible option for everyday laboratory use without sophisticated instrumentation. Our results demonstrate, that following a proper methodological approach, data on intracellular concentration of NPs obtained by PRS are fully comparable to AAS results. Specifically, the intracellular concentration of magnetite NPs coated with sodium oleate and bovine serum albumin in human alveolar A549 cells was assessed by PRS and AAS in parallel, with a remarkable correlation coefficient of R = 0.9914.
