Fabrication and characterization of a novel self-assembling micelle based on chitosan cross-linked pectin-doxorubicin conjugates macromolecular pro-drug for targeted cancer therapy.
Article in RSC advances, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Cancer is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Doxorubicin is one of the most effective anticancer drugs approved by FDA. However, like all the other anticancer drugs, the efficacy of DOX is associated with high systemic toxicity to healthy tissues. In this study, chitosan cross-linked pectin-doxorubicin conjugates macromolecular pro-drug (CS-PDC-M) was prepared to enhance the therapeutic effects on liver cancer. CS-PDC-M was characterized in terms of size, size distribution, zeta potential, scanning electron microscope (SEM) and drug loading content. The CS-PDC-M achieved prolonged releasing ability was demonstrated by the
