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

Pluronic P105 micelles are potential candidates as chemotherapy drug delivery vehicles using ultrasonic stimulation as a release trigger. Acoustic power has been previously shown to release two anthracycline agents from these polymeric carriers. In this study, an ultrasonic exposure chamber with fluorescence detection was used to examine the mechanism of doxorubicin release from P105 micelles. Acoustic spectra were collected and analyzed, at the same spatial position as fluorescence data, to probe the role of cavitation in drug release. Our study showed a strong correlation between percent drug release and subharmonic acoustic emissions, and we attribute the drug release to collapse cavitation that perturbs the structure of the micelle and releases drug.
