Purification of Boron Nitride Nanotubes Enhances Biological Application Properties.
Article in International journal of molecular sciences, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
Commercially available boron nitride nanotubes (BNNTs) and their purified form (pBNNTs) were dispersed in aqueous solutions with various dispersants, and their cytotoxicity and drug encapsulation capacity were monitored. Our data suggest that pBNNTs showed an average increase in dispersibility of 37.3% in aqueous solution in the presence of 10 different dispersants. In addition, 100 μg of pBNNTs induced an average decrease in cytotoxicity of 27.4% compared to same amount of BNNTs in normal cell lines. The same amount of pBNNTs can encapsulate 10.4-fold more drug (camptothecin) compared to BNNTs. These data suggest that the purification of BNNTs improves several of their properties, which can be applied to biological experiments and are thus essential in the biological application of BNNTs.
