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

backgroundSystemically administered nanoparticles (NPs) designed for biomedical applications are retained in liver and spleen where they become rapidly phagocyted by tissue macrophages leading to inflammation.

methodsTo gain insight into the NP-immune cell interaction in liver spleen and lungs, we followed the distribution of molybdenum nanoparticles (MoNPs)

resultsXRF imaging showed that intravenously administered MoNPs transiently accumulate in lungs, liver, and spleen. This leads to increments in the number of Kupffer cells (KC), natural killer (NK) cells, oxidative stress, and inflammation. Macrophage phenotype switched from pro- to an anti-inflammatory. In parallel genes with immunoregulatory and cytoprotective functions were expressed to maintain homeostasis. Nanoparticle uptake in spleen was operated by CD169/Siglec1 splenic macrophages indicating initiation of a secondary immune response. Silica coating reduced nanoparticle toxicity.

conclusionThe innate immunoresponse to NP uptake in liver and spleen is similar to viral or bacterial infections in these organs. A possible secondary immunoresponse to NPs can be primed in spleen aided by CD169/Siglec1 splenic macrophages. Silica coating of metal NPs tunes down this response.
