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

purposeTo synthesize P[(Folate-Allylamine)-co-(N-isopropylacrylamine)- co-Acrylamide] (P(FoAAn-co-NIPA-AAm), folate-NHG) with appropriate diameter and lower critical solution temperature (LCST) for targeting to folate receptor (FR) expressing tumors.

methodsFolate-NHG was synthesized by free-radical precipitation polymerization method reported in our previous work and other reports. LCST, diameter and morphology of folate-NHG were characterized by UV-vis spectrophotometer, laser particle size analyzer (LPSA) and transmission electron microscope (TEM), respectively. No.12 near infrared dye (NIRD-12) was entrapped into folate-NHG by hydrophobic association to trace the in vivo dynamic behavior of folate-NHG. This process was evaluated by a homemade near infrared (NIR) imaging system.

resultsSpherical folate-NHG with diameter of about 50 nm and LCST of about 40 degrees C was successfully synthesized. The photo stability of NIRD-12 was strengthened after being entrapped into folate-NHG, which enabled NIRD-12 to better trace the in vivo dynamic process of folate-NHG. Folate-NHG showed good targeting capability for all three folate receptor expressing tumor models (SMMC-7721, Bel-7402 and HeLa) with different sizes, and this accumulation could last for more than 96 h. D-folate-NHG, synthesized with double amount of FoAAn, showed better targeting effect for SMMC-7721 tumor model than that of folate-NHG.

conclusionsFolate-NHG could actively accumulate in three models of folate receptor positive tumors with different sizes and keep retention for more than 96 h, which enables it to be used as a diagnostic reagent or anti-tumor drug carrier for tumor therapy.
