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

Intravesical administration of chemotherapeutic agents can enhance drug accumulation in tumors and reduce systemic side effects. Nanocarriers were developed for intravesical administration and exploit the permeation enhancement effect. In vitro permeation evaluation, the drug transdermal amount and accumulation amounts in the tissue of gemcitabine-loaded nanocarriers through biological membrane significantly increased about 14.8~33.0-fold and 1.5~14.1-fold respectively, when compared to a control group of 1% gemcitabine saline solution. In in vivo intravesical administration, the drug accumulation amount in bladder tissue of nanocarrier of 75.2 ± 5.4 μg was revealed as being comparably higher than that of the control group of 44.8 ± 6.4 μg. In confocal laser scanning microscopy imagery, the penetration depth of fluorescent dyes-rhodamine was increased from 80 μm up to 120 μm when a nanocarrier was used. This result implies that the nanocarrier is a promising drug delivery agent for intravesical administration.
