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

The development of combination therapy has received great attention in recent years because of its potential to achieve higher therapeutic efficacy than that achieved by mono-drug therapy. Carriers for effective and stimuli-responsive co-delivery of multiple agents, however, are highly deficient at the moment. To address this need, this study reports the generation of multi-component hydrogel beads incorporated with reduced graphene oxide (rGO). The beads are prepared by incorporating doxorubicin (DOX)-loaded gelatine (GL) microbeads into hydrogel beads containing rGO and 5-fluorouracil (5-FU). rGO-containing beads are shown to be more effective in inhibiting the growth of MCF-7 cells via the induction of reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation. In addition, the drug release sustainability of the beads is affected by the pH of the release medium, with the release rate increasing in neutral pH but decreasing in the acidic environment. Our beads warrant further development as carriers for pH-responsive and controlled co-delivery of multiple agents.
