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

Nowadays, brain tumors are challenging problems, and the key of therapy is ensuring therapeutic drugs cross the blood-brain barrier (BBB) effectively. Although the efficiency of drug transport across the BBB can be increased by innovating and modifying nanomedicines, they exert insufficient therapeutic effects on brain tumors due to the complex environment of the brain. It is worth noting that ultrasound combined with the cavitation effect of microbubbles can assist BBB opening and enhance brain delivery of nanomedicines. This ultrasound-assisted brain delivery (UABD) technology with related nanomedicines (UABD nanomedicines) can safely open the BBB, facilitate the entry of drugs into the brain, and enhance the therapeutic effect on brain tumors. UABD nanomedicines, as the main component of UABD technology, have great potential in clinical application and have been an important area of interest in the field of brain tumor therapy. However, research on UABD nanomedicines is still in its early stages despite the fact that they have been associated with many disciplines, including material science, brain science, ultrasound, biology, and medicine. Some aspects of UABD theory and technology remain unclear, especially the mechanisms of BBB opening, relationship between materials of nanomedicines and UABD technology, cavitation and UABD nanomedicines design theories. This review introduces the research status of UABD nanomedicines, investigates their properties and applications of brain tumor therapy, discusses the advantages and drawbacks of UABD nanomedicines for the treatment of brain tumors, and offers their prospects. We hope to encourage researchers from various fields to participate in this area and collaborate on developing UABD nanomedicines into powerful tools for brain tumor therapy.
