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

Minicells are nanosized membrane vesicles produced by bacteria. Minicells are chromosome-free but contain cellular biosynthetic and metabolic machinery, and they are robust due to the protection provided by the bacterial cell envelope, which makes them potentially highly attractive in biomedical applications. However, the applicability of minicells and other nanoparticle-based delivery systems is limited by their inefficient accumulation at the target. Here we engineered the minicell-producing
