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

Magnetite (Fe₃O₄) nanoparticles are widely used in multiple biomedical applications due to their magnetic properties depending on the size, shape and organization of the crystals. However, the crystal growth and morphology of Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles remain difficult to control without using organic solvent or a high temperature. Inspired by the natural biomineralization process, a 14-mer bi-functional copolypeptide, leveraging the affinity of binding Fe₃O₄ together with targeting ovarian cancer cell A2780, was used as a template in the biomimetic mineralization of magnetite. Alongside this, a ginger extract was applied as an antioxidant and a size-conditioning agent of Fe₃O₄ crystals. As a result of the cooperative effects of the peptide and the ginger extract, the size and dispersibility of Fe₃O₄ were controlled based on the interaction of the amino acid and the ginger extract. Our study also demonstrated that the obtained particles with superparamagnetism could selectively be taken up by A2780 cells. In summary, the Fe₃O₄-QY-G nanoparticles may have potential applications in targeting tumor therapy or angiography.
