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

Nanomaterials have been developed for potential applications in biomedicine, such as tissue-specific imaging and drug delivery. There are many different platforms under development, each with advantages and disadvantages, but viral nanoparticles (VNPs) are particularly attractive because they are naturally occurring nanomaterials, and as such they are both biocompatible and biodegradable. VNPs can be designed and engineered using both genetic and chemical protocols. The use of VNPs has evolved rapidly since their introduction 20 years ago, encompassing numerous chemistries and modification strategies that allow the functionalization of VNPs with imaging reagents, targeting ligands, and therapeutic molecules. This review discusses recent advances in the design of "smart" targeted VNPs for therapeutic and imaging applications. FROM THE CLINICAL EDITOR: This review focuses on viral nanoparticles, which are considered attractive naturally occurring nanomaterials due to their inherent biocompatibility and biodegradability. These can be used as imaging reagents, targeting ligands and therapeutic molecules.
