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

Although graphene oxide (GO) has recently been considered as a highly attractive nanomaterial for future cancer imaging and therapy, it is still a major challenge to improve its in vivo tumor active targeting efficiency. Here in this full article, we demonstrated the successful and significantly enhanced in vivo tumor vasculature targeting efficacy of well-functionalized GO nanoconjugates by using vascular endothelial growth factor 121 (VEGF121) as the targeting ligand. As-developed GO nanoconjugate exhibits excellent in vivo stability, specific in vitro and in vivo vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR) targeting, significantly enhanced tumor accumulation (>8 %ID/g) as well as high tumor-to-muscle contrast, showing great potential for future tumor targeted imaging and therapy.
