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

The aim of present study is to conceive a biodegradable poly(ethylene glycol)-polylactide (PEG-PLA) copolymer nanoparticle which can be surface biofunctionalized with ligands via biotin-avidin interactions and used as a potential drug delivery carrier targeting to brain glioma in vivo. For this aim, a new method was employed to synthesize biotinylated PEG-PLA copolymers, i.e., esterification of PEG with biotinyl chloride followed by copolymerization of hetero-biotinylated PEG with lactide. PEG-PLA nanoparticles bearing biotin groups on surface were prepared by nanoprecipitation technique and the functional protein transferrin (Tf) were coupled to the nanoparticles by taking advantage of the strong biotin-avidin complex formation. The flow cytometer measurement demonstrated the targeting ability of the nanoparticles to tumor cells in vitro, and the fluorescence microscopy observation of brain sections from C6 glioma tumor-bearing rat model gave the intuitive proof that Tf functionalized PEG-PLA nanoparticles could penetrate into tumor in vivo.
