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

Folate (FA) modified carboxymethyl chitosan (FCC) has been synthesized and the hydrogel nanoparticles can be prepared after the sonication. Formation and characteristics of nanoparticles of FCC were studied by fluorescence spectroscopy and dynamic light scattering methods. The critical aggregation concentration value of FCC in water was 9.34 × 10(-2) mg/ml and the mean hydrodynamic diameter of particle was 267.8 nm. The morphology of nanoparticles was observed by transmission electron microscopy which had spherical shape. Loading capacity (LC), loading efficiency (LE) and the in vitro release profiles of nanoparticles were investigated by doxorubicin (DOX) as a model drug. When the initially added amount of DOX versus the constant amount of FCC polymer was increased, the LC in the nanoparticles was gradually increased and the LE decreased. The in vitro release profile of the DOX from the FCC nanoparticles exhibited sustained release. Cellular uptake of FCC nanoparticles was found to be higher than that of nanoparticles based on linoleic acid (LA) modified carboxymethyl chitosan because of the FA-receptor-mediated endocytosis, thereby providing higher cytotoxicity against Hela cells.
