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

Superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) have shown great potential in biomedicine due to their high intrinsic magnetization behaviour. These are small particles of magnetite or maghemite, and when coated, their surface oxidation is prevented, their aggregation tendency is reduced, their dispersity is improved, and the stability and blood circulation time are increased, which are mandatory requirements in biomedical applications. In this work, SPIONs were synthesized in air through a reduction-precipitation method and coated with four different polymers (Polyethylene glycol(PEG) 1000/6000 and dextran T10/T70). All the synthesized samples were structurally and magnetically characterized by transmission electron microscopy, Fourier transform infra-red spectroscopy, X-ray powder diffraction, Mössbauer spectroscopy, and Superconducting Quantum Interference Device (SQUID) magnetometry. SPIONs centrifuged and dried in vacuum with an average diameter of at least 7.5 nm and a composition ≤60% of maghemite and ≥40% of magnetite showed the best magnetization results, namely a saturation magnetization of ~64 emu/g at 300 K, similar to the best reported values for SPIONs prepared in controlled atmosphere. As far as SPIONs' coatings are concerned, during their preparation procedure, surface polymers must be introduced after the SPIONs' precipitation. Furthermore, polymers with shorter chains do not affect the SPIONs' magnetization performance, although longer chain polymers significantly decrease the coated particle magnetization values, which is undesirable.
