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

purposeThe purpose of this study was to show a systematic strategy for assessing the pharmacokinetics of indocyanine green (ICG)-loaded nanoparticles in the tumor tissue based on a dynamic diffuse fluorescence tomography (DFT) system. PROCEDURES: Twelve-seven-week-old male Balb/c nude mice bearing HepG2/ADR hepatocellular carcinoma were randomly divided into four groups (n = 3 per group). Four hundred microliters of three types of ICG-loaded nanoparticles (content of ICG: 50 μg/ml) and free ICG (50 μg/ml) was intravenously injected into the mice in each group, respectively. Afterwards, the real-time tomographic images on the spatial level were acquired at 2-11 min, 30 min, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, and 24 h post-injection, and pharmacokinetic rates were derived for semi-quantitative assessment of the pharmacokinetics of nanoparticles at the tumor site using our proposed pharmacokinetic analysis method.

resultsThe results obtained from our proposed dynamic DFT experiment demonstrated the distribution of different ICG formulations on the spatial level and enabled the semi-quantitative analysis of the pharmacokinetics of nanoparticles in the tumor tissue.

conclusionsThe obtained pharmacokinetic rates effectively reflected the metabolic processes of nanoparticles in the tumor tissue, which proves to be beneficial for the development of tumor diagnosis and therapy.
