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 therapeutic strategy that gives consideration to the combination of photodynamic therapy and chemotherapy, has emerged as a potential development of effective anti-cancer medicine. Nevertheless, co-delivery of photosensitizers (PSs) and chemotherapeutic drugs in traditional carriers still remains great limitations due to low drug loadings and poor biocompatibility. Herein, we have utilized a computer-aided strategy to achieve a desired carrier-free self-delivery of pyropheophorbide a (PPa, a common PS) and podophyllotoxin (PPT, a classical chemotherapeutic drug) for synergistic cancer therapy. First, the computational simulation method identified the similar molecular sizes and rigid molecular structures between two drugs molecules. Based on the molecular docking, the intermolecular interactions were found to include π-π stackings, hydrophobic interactions and hydrogen bonds. Next, both drugs could co-assemble into nanoparticles (NPs) via one-step nanoprecipitation method. The various spectral experiments (UV, IR and FL) were conducted to evaluate the formation mechanism of spherical NPs. Moreover,
