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

Recent advances in cancer nanotechnology have led to the emergence of aptamer-enabled technologies to diagnose and treat cancer. Aptamers with their high binding sensitivity and specificity are highly attractive for a wide variety of applications in molecular targeting. Aptamer-escorted drug-loaded polymeric nanoparticles represent a promising technology, which facilitates controlled release and targeted approach to deliver drugs to the desired site with marginal or any collateral damage. By properly integrating these nanobased approaches with the established cancer research findings could help to resolve some of the existing problems in the current conventional cancer therapy. In this review, we discuss the progresses achieved in the aptamer mediated nanoparticle drug delivery and properties of nanoparticles, which play a significant role in developing the aptamer-nanoparticle bioconjugates. In addition, we highlight the recent preclinical works involving these bioconjugates as cancer therapeutics.
