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

Rapid growth of nanotechnology is one of the most quickly emerging tendencies in cancer therapy. Gold nanoparticles roused a distinctive interest in the field, due to their incomparable light-to-thermal energy conversion efficiency, and their ability to load and deliver a variety of anticancer drugs. Therefore, simultaneous photothermal (PTT) and photodynamic (PDT) cancer therapy is available by the role of the thermal agent of the gold nanoparticle itself and the drug delivery carrier for photosensitizer (PS) transport. In this review, the physical, chemical, and biological properties of gold nanoparticle, which can promote PTT and PDT efficiency, are briefly demonstrated, and we highlight recent progression in the development of PS-containing gold nanocomposites for effective cancer therapy.
