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

aimThis study was to prepare the functionalized nano-graphene oxide (nano-GO) particles, and observe targeted fluorescence imaging and photothermy of U251 glioma cells under near infrared (NIR) exposure. MATERIAL AND

methodsThe functionalized nano-GO-Tf-FITC particles were prepared and then were incubated with U251 glioma cells. Estimation of CCK8 cell activity was adopted for measurement of cytotoxicity. The effect of fluorescein imaging was detected by fluorescence microscope with anti-CD71-FITC as a control. Finally, we detected the killing efficacy with flow cytometry after an 808 nm NIR exposure.

resultsBoth nano-GO-Tf-FITC group and CD71-FITC group exhibited green-yellow fluorescence, while the control group without the target molecule nano-GO-FITC was negative. The nano-GO-Tf-FITC was incubated with U251 cells at 0.1 mg/ml, 1.0 mg/ml, 3.0 mg/ml and 5.0 mg/ml. After 48 h of incubation, the absorbance was 0.747 ± 0.031, 0.732 ± 0.043, 0.698 ± 0.051 and 0.682 ± 0.039, while the absorbance of control group is 0.759 ± 0.052. There is no significant difference between the nano-GO-FITC groups and control group. In addition, the apoptosis and death index of nano-GO-Tf-FITC group was significantly higher than that of nano-GO-FITC and blank control group (P < 0.05).

conclusionThe nano-GO-Tf-FITC particles with good biological compatibility and low cytotoxicity are successfully made, which have an observed effect of target imaging and photothermal therapy on glioma U251 cells.
