How to exploit different endocytosis pathways to allow selective delivery of anticancer drugs to cancer cells over healthy cells.
Article in Chemical science, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
It was recently shown that it is possible to exploit the nanoparticle shape to selectively target endocytosis pathways found in cancer and not healthy cells. It is important to understand and compare the endocytosis pathways of nanoparticles in both cancer and healthy cells to restrict the healthy cells from taking up anticancer drugs to help reduce the side effects for patients. Here, the clathrin-mediated endocytosis inhibitor, hydroxychloroquine, and the anticancer drug, doxorubicin, are loaded into the same mesoporous silica nanorods. The use of nanorods was found to restrict the uptake by healthy cells but allowed cancer cells to take up the nanorods
