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

Metal organic frameworks (MOFs) exhibit unique features of finely tunable pore structures, excellent chemical stability and flexible surface structural functionality, making them advantageous for a wide range of applications including energy storage, compound separation, catalysis, and drug delivery. The present work enlightens a novel approach of single step fabrication of CCM-ZIF-8 as a drug carrier and its application as stimuli responsive drug delivery systems via external stimuli involving change in pH and in presence of biomimetic cell membrane like environment using liposomes and SDS micelles. The methodology is devoid of any post synthesis drug loading steps. The synthesized curcumin encapsulated ZIF-8 frameworks demonstrate ultrahigh drug encapsulation efficiency (ca. 83.33%) and good chemical stability. In vitro drug release of curcumin was three times higher in acidic medium than in physiological pH. Cytotoxicity results demonstrated enhanced therapeutic effect of CCM-ZIF-8 than free curcumin. Confocal microscopy results confirmed the easy cellular internalization of CCM-ZIF-8 in HeLa cells. Intracellular distribution studies at various incubation times confirmed the clathrin-mediated endocytosis to lysosomal pathway of CCM-ZIF-8, but without mitochondria being an intracellular fate. The results signify that CCM-ZIF-8 is an efficient drug carrier for passive tumor therapy in future for cancer treatments.
