Cyclodextrin Nanoparticles and Injectable Polymer-Nanoparticle Hydrogels for Macrophage-Targeted Delivery of Small-Molecule Drugs.
Article in Methods in molecular biology (Clifton, N.J.), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Small-molecule drugs are pillars of modern medicine, used to prevent and treat a plethora of diseases. Their applications include modulating the immune response, where macrophages and other phagocytic innate immune cells are critical therapeutic targets. In comparison to biologics, small-molecule drugs benefit from relative ease of synthesis and structural modification, long shelf life, and low cost. However, these drugs often suffer from poor pharmacokinetics (i.e., rapid renal clearance, nonspecific tissue, and cell biodistribution) and off-target effects that limit their efficacy. We have, therefore, developed a macrophage-targeted nanoparticulate carrier (cyclodextrin nanoparticle [CDNP]) that can house a variety of hydrophobic small-molecule drugs for systemic delivery through the body. This system has further been manipulated to formulate an injectable polymer-nanoparticle (iPNP) hydrogel for local delivery, with the goal of concentrating drug effects at the target site while perpetuating sustained delivery and minimizing off-target effects. Herein, we describe the strategy for preparing these CDNPs and iPNP hydrogels for a wide range of therapeutic applications.
