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

Two different raltitrexed gold and silver nanoparticles for the delivery of an antitumoral drug into cancer cells were synthesized and characterized. A cysteine linker was used for the covalent bonding of raltitrexed to the surface of nanoparticles. To evaluate the efficacy of the antifolate-derivative nanoparticles, their cytotoxicity was assayed in vitro with A549 human lung adenocarcinoma and HCT-116 colorectal carcinoma human cells. Modified nanoparticles are a biocompatible material, and administration of silver raltitrexed nanoparticles strongly inhibited the viability of the cancer cells; gold raltitrexed nanoparticles do not show any type of cytotoxic effect. The results suggest that silver raltitrexed nanoparticles could be a potential delivery system for certain cancer cells.
