Estrogen conjugated fluorescent silica nanoparticles as optical probes for breast cancer cells imaging.
Article in Biomicrofluidics, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Fluorescent nanoparticles are promising tools for living cancer cell imaging and cancer targeting. In this study, estrogen conjugated dye-doped fluorescent nanoparticles (estrogen conjugated FNPs) were synthesized and characterized. The functionalized nanoparticles with low toxicity have shown high selectivity and sensitivity toward target cells. Based on the specific recognition between the estrogen and the estrogen receptor, estrogen conjugated FNPs have been employed as optical probes for specific targeting of estrogen receptor-positive cancer cells with fluorescence microscopy imaging technology. The results demonstrate that the estrogen conjugated FNPs can effectively recognize breast cancer cells with good sensitivity and exceptional photostability, which would offer a novel approach for the diagnosis of breast cancer cells, as well as a new method in detecting estrogen receptors.
