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

Nanomedicines modify the pharmacology of pharmaceutical ingredients, but most require cell internalization to deliver their payloads. Hence, modifying the surface properties of nanomedicines can improve their interactions with cells and modulate their pharmacology. Herein, we devised a polymer that increases how nanomedicines are internalized by cells. The alkylated poly(monoglycerol acrylate) (PMGA) polymer was synthesized by reversible addition-fragmentation chain-transfer (RAFT) polymerization with a terminal double 18-carbon moiety that allows its anchoring on the surface of liposomes. PMGA-decorated liposomes are internalized more efficiently in immune cells, compared to formulations without the polymer. Using inhibitors of internalization pathways, we established that PMGA promotes cell entry by the fast endophilin-mediated endocytosis (FEME). In comparison, noncoated control liposomes were mostly internalized by clathrin-mediated endocytosis. This work highlights the potential of PMGA to increase the internalization of nanomedicines by immune cells, and target a novel internalization pathway.
