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

purposeThe aim of this study was to design stimuli-responsive nanocarriers for anti-cancer drug delivery. For this purpose, doxorubicin (DOX)-loaded, polysebacic anhydride (PSA) based nanocapsules (NC) were combined with pH-sensitive poly (L-histidine) (PLH).

methodPSA nano-carriers were first loaded with DOX and were coated with poly L-histidine to introduce pH sensitivity. The PLH-coated NCs were then covered with polyethylene glycol (PEG) to reduce macrophage uptake. The drug release profile from this system was examined in two different buffer solutions prepared as acidic (pH5) and physiological (pH 7.4) media. The physical and chemical properties of the nanocapsules were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), dynamic light scattering (DLS), ultraviolet and visible absorption spectroscopy (UV-VIS), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). In vitro studies of the prepared nanocapsules were conducted in MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells.

resultsThe results obtained by SEM and DLS revealed that nanocapsules have spherical morphology with an average size of 230 nm. Prepared pH sensitive nanocapsules exhibited pH-dependent drug release profile and promising intracellular release of drug. PEGylation of nanoparticles significantly prevented macrophage uptake compared to non-PEGylated particles.
