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

This study dealt with the preparation and characterization of coumarin-6 loaded poly(caprolactone) grafted dextran (PGD) nanoparticles (NPs) and evaluation of cellular uptake by using human gastric cancer cell line (SNU-638), in vitro. The potential application of these PGD NPs for sustained drug delivery was evaluated by the quantification and localization of the cellular uptake of fluorescent PGD NPs. Coumarin-6 loaded PGD NPs were prepared by a modified oil/water emulsion technique and characterized by various physico-chemical methods such as, laser light scattering for particle size and size distribution, atomic force microscopy (AFM), zeta-potential and spectrofluorometry to identify the release of fluorescent molecules from the NPs. SNU-638 was used to measure the cellular uptake of fluorescent PGD NPs. Confocal laser scanning microscopic images clearly showed the internalization of NPs by the SNU-638 cells. Cell viability was assessed by treating the SNU-638 cells with PGD NPs for 48 h. The results reveal, that these biodegradable polymeric NPs holds promise in biomedical field as a carrier.
