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

While iron is a nutrient metal, iron overload can result in multiple organ failures. Iron chelators, such as deferoxamine, are commonly used to ameliorate iron overload conditions. However, their uses are limited due to poor pharmacokinetics and adverse effects. Many novel chelator formulations have been developed to overcome these drawbacks. In this review, we have discussed various nanochelators, including linear and branched polymers, dendrimers, polyrotaxane, micelles, nanogels, polymeric nanoparticles and liposomes. Although these research efforts have mainly been focused on nanochelators with longer half-lives, prolonged residence of polymers in the body could raise potential safety issues. We also discussed recent advances in nanochelation technologies, including mechanism-based, long-acting nanochelators.
