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
backgroundTargeting radiosensitizer-incorporated nanoparticles to a tumor could allow for less normal tissue toxicity with more efficient drug release, thus improving the efficacy and safety of radiation treatment. The aim of this study was to improve tumor-specific delivery and bioavailability of a nanoparticle-mediated radiosensitizer in mouse brain tumor models.
methodsA pH-sensitive nanoparticle, chitoPEGAcHIS, was conjugated to recombinant peptide HVGGSSV that could bind to tax-interaction protein 1 (TIP-1) as a radiation-inducible receptor. Then the c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) inhibitor, SP600125 was incorporated into this copolymer to fabricate a HVGGSSV-chitoPEGAcHIS-SP600125 (HVSP-NP) nanoradiosensitizer. In vitro and in vivo radiation treatment were performed using a Gamma Knife unit. The tumor targetability of HVSP-NP was estimated by optical bioluminescence. Synergistic therapeutic effects of radiation treatment and HVSP-NP were investigated in Lewis lung carcinoma (LLC) cell-bearing mouse brain tumor models.
resultsThe SP600125 JNK inhibitor effectively reduced DNA damage repair to irradiated LLC cells. A pH sensitivity assay indicated that HVSP-NP swelled at acidic pH and increased in diameter, and its release rate gradually increased. Optical bioluminescence assay showed that radiation induced TIP-1 expression in mouse brain tumor and that the nanoradiosensitizer selectively targeted irradiated tumors. Radiation treatment with HVSP-NP induced greater apoptosis and significantly inhibited tumor growth compared to radiation alone.
conclusionAs a novel nanoradiosensitizer, HVSP-NP was found to be able to selectively target irradiated tumors and significantly increase tumor growth delay in LLC-bearing mouse brain tumor models. This research shows that delivering a pH-sensitive nanoradiosensitizer to a brain tumor in which TIP-1 is induced by radiation can result in improved radiosensitizer-release in an acidic microenvironment of tumor tissue and in created synergistic effects in radiation treatment.
