Boron nitride nanotubes as containers for targeted drug delivery of doxorubicin.
Article in Journal of molecular modeling, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 6 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
Using molecular dynamics simulations, the adsorption and diffusion of doxorubicin drug molecules in boron nitride nanotubes are investigated. The interaction between doxorubicin and the nanotube is governed by van der Waals attraction. We find strong adsorption of doxorubicin to the wall for narrow nanotubes (radius of 9 Å). For larger radii (12 and 15 Å), the adsorption energy decreases, while the diffusion coefficient of doxorubicin increases. It does, however, not reach the values of pure water, as adsorption events still hinder the doxorubicin mobility. It is concluded that nanotubes wider than around 4 nm diameter can serve as efficient drug containers for targeted drug delivery of doxorubicin in cancer chemotherapy.
