Harnessing platelets as functional vectors for contrast enhanced ultrasound imaging and fluorescence imaging.
Article in RSC advances, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
The recent progress in the development of highly biocompatible nanoplatforms mostly encompasses the use of biological excipients such as red blood cells, cancer cell membranes, and also platelets. Such specialized vectors, if mimicked correctly, have intrinsic ability to navigate through the biological system and perform their intended action without eliciting any cascade of inflammatory processes. Naturally, platelets have been found to accumulate in the wound sites and also interact with circulating tumor cells (CTCs). Inspired by the targeting ability of platelets and the clinical success of ultrasound, herein we developed a novel ultrasound contrast agent (UCA) by backfilling of an insoluble gas into the platelets after lyophilization
