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

In order to achieve a controlled release drug delivery system (DDS) for cancer therapy, a pH and redox dual-responsive mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSN)-sulfur (S)-S- chitosan (CS) DDS was prepared via an amide reaction of dithiodipropionic acid with amino groups on the surface of MSN and amino groups on the surface of CS. Using salicylic acid (SA) as a model drug, SA@MSN-S-S-CS was prepared by an impregnation method. Subsequently, the stability, swelling properties and drug release properties of the DDS were studied by x-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared microspectroscopy, size and zeta potential as well as Brunauer-Emmett-Teller surface area. Pore size and volume of the composites decreased after drug loading but maintained a stable structure. The calculated drug loading rate and encapsulation efficiency were 8.17% and 55.64%, respectively. The in vitro drug release rate was 21.54% in response to glutathione, and the release rate showed a marked increase as the pH decreased. Overall, double response functions of MSN-S-S-CS had unique advantages in controlled drug delivery, and may be a new clinical application of DDS in cancer therapy.
