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

In the last decade, nanomaterials have gained considerable attention and interest in the development of new and efficient molecular probes for medical diagnosis and imaging. Compared to traditional contrast agents used from the 70s, this comes from the new possibilities offered by the increased half-life of nanosystems in blood stream, as well as by the specific accumulation in organ of lesions through passive or active targeting mechanisms. Heavy metal or iodinated-loaded nanoparticles are excellent absorbers of X-rays and can offer excellent improvement in medical diagnosis and X-ray imaging. This review aims to propose an accurate state-of-the-art of the emerging applications of nanotechnology in X-ray imaging. Likewise we will discuss and compare all the solutions proposed, and the impact of their composition, formulation methods, and physicochemical properties on their applications, efficiency, and potential industrial scaling-up.
