Structure-to-Efficacy Relationship of HPMA-Based Nanomedicines: The Tumor Spheroid Penetration Study.
Article in Pharmaceutics, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Nanomedicines are a novel class of therapeutics that benefit from the nano dimensions of the drug carrier. These nanosystems are highly advantageous mainly within cancer treatment due to their enhanced tumor accumulation. Monolayer tumor cells frequently used in routine preclinical assessment of nanotherapeutics do not have a spatial structural architecture that allows the investigation of the penetration of nanomedicines to predict their behavior in real tumor tissue. Therefore, tumor spheroids from colon carcinoma C26 cells and glioblastoma U87-MG cells were used as 3D in vitro models to analyze the effect of the inner structure, hydrodynamic size, dispersity, and biodegradability of
