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.
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
purposeSuperparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) have exhibited preeminent diagnosis and treatment performances, but their low internalization severely limits predesigned functions. The low cell internalization is now an urgent bottleneck problem for almost all nanomaterials. To achieve more internalization of SPIONS, recombinant M13 phage was designed for targeted delivery and smart release.
methodsM13 phages were designed to co-express exogenous SPARC binding peptide (SBP) and cathepsin B cleavage peptide (DFK), formed recombinant DFK-SBP-M13. 3.37± 0.06 nm of SPIONs were modified by 3, 4-dihydroxyhydrocinnamic acid (DHCA) to gain 10.80 ± 0.21 nm of DHCA-coated SPIONs, i.e., DHCA@SPIONs. Upon adjusting the proportions of DHCA@SPIONs and DFK-SBP-M13, the multi-carboxyl SPIONs assembled onto recombinant M13 phages via covalent bonding. The assemblies were co-cultured with MDA-MB-231 cells to interpret their internalization and smart release.
resultsThe "corn-like" SPIONs@DFK-SBP-M13 (261.47±3.30 nm) assemblies have not been reported previously. The assembly was stable, dispersible, superparamagnetic and biocompatible. After co-cultivation with MDA-MB-231 cells, the SPIONs@DFK-SBP-M13 assemblies quickly bond to the cell surface and are internalized. The enrichment rate of SPIONs@DFK-SBP-M13 assembly was 13.9 times higher than free SPIONs at 0.5 h, and intracellular Fe content was 3.6 times higher at 1 h. Furthermore, the DFK peptides favored cathepsin B to cleave SPIONs from the M13 templates resulting in release of SPIONs inside cells.
conclusionThe novel SPIONs@DFK-SBP-M13 assembly can rapidly deliver SPIONs to the targeted sites and enabled smart release. The combination of genetic recombination and nanotechnology is beneficial for designing and optimizing some new nanomaterials with special functions to achieve wider applications.
