Halloysite nanotubes as a nature's boon for biomedical applications.
Article in Nanobiomedicine. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 31 papers.
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.
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
The arena of biomedical science has long been in quest of innovative mediums for diagnostic and therapeutic applications. The latest being the use of nanomaterials for such applications, thereby giving rise to the branch of nanomedicine. Halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) are naturally occurring tubular clay nanomaterials, made of aluminosilicate kaolin sheets rolled several times. The aluminol and siloxane groups on the surface of HNT facilitate the formation of hydrogen bonding with the biomaterials onto its surface. These properties render HNT pivotal in diverse range of applications, such as in environmental sciences, waste-water treatment, dye removal, nanoelectronics and fabrication of nanocomposites, catalytic studies, as glass coatings or anticorrosive coatings, in cosmetics, as flame retardants, stimuli response, and forensic sciences. The specific properties of HNT also lead to numerous applications in biomedicine and nanomedicine, namely drug delivery, gene delivery, tissue engineering, cancer and stem cells isolation, and bioimaging. In this review, recent developments in the use of HNT for various nanomedicinal applications have been discussed.
