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

backgroundGold nanoparticles (GNPs) are receiving increasing attention as drug delivery carriers due to their high surface-to-volume ratio, hydrophilicity, and functionality. Drug delivery by nanocarriers has the potential to bypass P-glycoprotein (P-gp)-mediated multidrug resistance (MDR) by altering the drug internalization mechanism and/or intracellular release pattern, inhibiting the activity of ABC-transporter efflux pumps, or downregulating the expression of genes responsible for the activity of efflux pumps.

objectiveWe developed a folate-gold-bilirubin (FGB) nanoconjugate to reverse MDR in P-expressing KB-Ch

methodsThe P-gp overexpressing KB-Ch

resultsThe FGB nanoconjugate was found to be a stronger inhibitor of the viability of multidrug-resistant KB-Ch

conclusionFGB nanoparticles significantly inhibit tumor growth, probably through the folate receptor, which is highly expressed in KB cells. Hence, folate-gold-bilirubin nanoparticles could be a promising agent for inducing apoptosis in P-gp-overexpressing drug-resistant cancer cells.
