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

We formulated and tested a targeted nanodrug delivery system to help treat life-threatening invasive fungal infections, such as cryptococcal meningitis. Various designs of iron oxide nanoparticles (IONP) (34-40 nm) coated with bovine serum albumin and coated and targeted with amphotericin B (AMB-IONP), were formulated by applying a layer-by-layer approach. The nanoparticles were monodispersed and spherical in shape, and the lead formulation was found to be in an optimum range for nanomedicine with size (≤36 nm), zeta potential (-20 mV), and poly dispersity index (≤0.2), and the drug loading was 13.6 ± 6.9 µg of AMB/mg of IONP. The drug release profile indicated a burst release of up to 3 h, followed by a sustained drug release of up to 72 h. The lead showed a time-dependent cellular uptake in
