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.

Abstract
Previous studies have shown that different paclitaxel formulations produce distinct anticancer efficacy and safety profiles in animals and humans. This study aimed to investigate the distinct pharmacokinetics and tissue distribution of various nanoformulations of paclitaxel, which may translate into potential differences in safety and efficacy. Four nanoparticle formulations ( nab-paclitaxel, mouse albumin nab-paclitaxel [m -nab-paclitaxel], micellar paclitaxel, and polymeric nanoparticle paclitaxel) as well as solvent-based paclitaxel were intravenously administered to mice. Seventeen blood and tissue samples were collected at different time points. The total paclitaxel concentration in each tissue specimen was measured with liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. Compared with solvent-based paclitaxel, all four nanoformulations demonstrated decreased paclitaxel exposure in plasma. All nanoformulations were associated with paclitaxel blood-cell accumulation in mice; however, m- nab-paclitaxel was associated with the lowest accumulation. Five minutes after dosing, the total paclitaxel in the tissues and blood was approximately 44% to 57% of the administered dose of all paclitaxel formulations. Paclitaxel was primarily distributed to liver, muscle, intestine, kidney, skin, and bone. Compared with solvent-based paclitaxel, the different nanocarriers altered the distribution of paclitaxel in all tissues with distinct paclitaxel concentration-time profiles. nab-paclitaxel was associated with increased delivery efficiency of paclitaxel in the pancreas compared with the other formulations, consistent with the demonstrated efficacy of nab-paclitaxel in pancreatic cancer. All the nanoformulations led to high penetration in the lungs and fat pad, which potentially points to efficacy in lung and breast cancers. Micellar paclitaxel and polymeric nanoparticle paclitaxel were associated with high paclitaxel accumulation in the heart; thus, the risk of cardiovascular toxicity with these formulations may warrant further investigation. The solvent-based formulation was associated with the poorest paclitaxel penetration in all tissues and the lowest tissue-to-plasma ratio. The different nanocarriers of paclitaxel were associated with distinct pharmacokinetics and tissue distribution, which largely align with the observed efficacy and toxicity profiles in clinical trials.
