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

Poly-N-isopropyl acrylamide (PNIPAM) nanogels have been modified with different acrylic acid (AAc) contents for the efficient control of lower critical solution temperature (LCST). In this study, PNIPAM-co-AAc nanogels nanogels showed two volume phase transitions in comparison with PNIPAM. The transition temperature of PNIPAM nanogels was increased with AAc contents. The controlled drug release performance of PNIPAM-co-AAc nanogels loaded with β-lapachone was attributed to the AAc content ratio and was efficiently triggered in response to temperature and pH. Moreover, a colorimetric cell proliferation assay and direct fluorescence-based live/dead staining were used to confirm the concurrence on drug release profiles. Finally, PNIPAM-co-AAc20 showed a relatively low level of drug release in the range of acidic to neutral pH at body temperature, while maximizing drug release at basic pH. Therefore, we demonstrated that the PNIPAM-based nanogel with the temperature- and pH-responsive features could be a promising nanocarrier for potential intestine-specific drug delivery.
