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

purposeTheranostic nanoplatforms are promising approaches for diagnosis and treatment. Here, we report a drug-loaded nanomicelle system with biocleavable gadolinium (Gd) chelates as a multifunctional biodegradable agent for simultaneous magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and drug delivery.

methodsSelf-assembled nanomicelles based on stearic acid-grafted chitooligosaccharide were utilized as vehicles. Gd chelates, DTPA-Gds, were linked to the nanomicelles via redox-responsive disulfide bonds, and hydrophobic drugs were encapsulated in the micelle cores. MRI and cargo delivery were investigated in orthotopic pancreatic tumor-bearing mice.

resultsIn vivo MRI demonstrated that the biodegradable agent was cleaved by endogenous thiols after intravenous injection, and the released DTPA-Gds were eliminated rapidly. At the same time, the agent resulted in a greater contrast enhancement of T

conclusionThe fabricated multifunctional agent may serve as a biodegradable nanoscale MRI contrast agent and as a drug delivery system for tumor diagnosis and treatment.
