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

Translation of nanoparticles (NPs) into clinical practice has been limited by toxic effects induced by nonspecific accumulation of NPs in healthy organs after systemic administration. The ideal NPs should accumulate in the target site, carry out their function, and then ultimately be eliminated from the body. Here, we show a single-compartment, multifunctional ultrasmall copper sulfide nanodot (CuS ND) that is rapidly cleared from the body. These CuS NDs have a hydrodynamic diameter of <6 nm, can efficiently absorb near-infrared light for photothermal ablation therapy, and stably incorporate the copper-64 radioisotope for noninvasive positron emission tomography (PET). Importantly, ∼95% of CuS NDs are excreted intact through the renal-urinary system within 24 h with minimal retention in the liver and the spleen. The ultrasmall CuS NDs accumulate in 4T1 tumors in Balb/c mice, as monitored by PET imaging, and mediate tumor ablation when combined with near-infrared light irradiation. As a first example of PET-visible, renal-clearable inorganic nanomaterials with peak absorption in the near-infrared region, CuS NDs represent a robust platform for cancer imaging and therapy.
