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

Targeted delivery of therapeutics forestalls the dreadful delocalized effects, drug toxicities and needless immunosuppression. Cancer cells are bounteous with sialic acid and the differential expression of glycosyl transferase, glycosidase and monosaccharide transporter compared to healthy tissues. The current study entails the development and characterisation of sialic acid (SA)-labelled chitosan nanoparticles encapsulating gemcitabine (GEM). Chitosan (CS) was conjugated with SA using coupling reaction and characterised spectroscopically. Furthermore, different concentrations of chitosan and tripolyphosphate (TPP) were optimised to fabricate surface modified chitosan nanoparticles. SA conjugated chitosan nanoparticles encapsulating GEM (SA-CS_GEM NPs) of 232 ± 9.69 nm with narrow distribution (PDI < 0.5) and zeta potential of - 19 ± 0.97 mV was fabricated. GEM was successfully loaded in the SA-CS NPs, depicting prolonged and biphasic drug release pattern more elated at low pH. Pronounced cellular uptake (FITC tagged) and cytotoxicity (IC
