Cyclic RGD Peptide Targeting Coated Nano Drug Co-Delivery System for Therapeutic Use in Age-Related Macular Degeneration Disease.
Article in Molecules (Basel, Switzerland), 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
Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) expression increased significantly in the pathogenesis of age-related macular degeneration, which induced the formation of pathological blood vessels. Dexamethasone is an exogenous anti-angiogenic drug while bevacizumab is an endogenous anti-angiogenic drug. They both have been widely used in ophthalmology. However, independent administration is not enough to completely block the development of choroidal neovascularization (CNV), and the number of eyes vitreous injections is limited. Reasonable combination of drugs may produce significantly better therapeutic effect than single drug treatment. The cyclic RGD (cRGD) peptide has a particularly high affinity with retinal pigment epithelial cells, where VEGF secretes from. In this study, we prepared nanoparticles of bevacizumab and dexamethasone with cRGD peptide as the target (aBev/cRGD-DPPNs). The particle size of the aBev/cRGD-DPPNs was 213.8 ± 1.5 nm, SEM results showed that the nano-carriers were well dispersed and spherical. The cell uptake study demonstrated the selectivity of the aBev/cRGD-DPPN to ARPE-19 with α
