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

purposeWe aimed to develop a nanocarrier formulation incorporating fenbendazole (FEN) and rapamycin (RAPA) with strong efficacy against A549 cancer cells. As FEN and RAPA are poorly soluble in water, it is difficult to apply them clinically in vivo. Therefore, we attempted to resolve this problem by encapsulating these drugs in polymeric micelles.

methodsWe evaluated drug synergy using the combination index (CI) values of various molar ratios of FEN and RAPA. We formed and tested micelles composed of different polymers. Moreover, we conducted cytotoxicity, stability, release, pharmacokinetic, and biodistribution studies to investigate the antitumor effects of FEN/RAPA-loaded mPEG-

resultsWe selected mPEG-

conclusionWhen FEN and RAPA had a 1:2 molar ratio, they showed synergism. Additionally, using data from in vitro cytotoxicity, synergism between a 1:2 molar ratio of FEN and RAPA was observed in the micelle formulation. The FEN/RAPA-loaded mPEG-
