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

Radio-sensitizing nanoparticles are a potential method to increase the damage caused to cancerous cells during the course of radiotherapy. The distribution of these particles in a given targeted tumour is a relevant factor in determining the efficacy of nanoparticle-enhanced treatment. In this study, a three-part mathematical model is shown to predict the distribution of nanoparticles after direct injection into a tumour. In contrast with previous studies, here, a higher value of diffusivity for charged particles was used and the concentration profile of deposited particles was studied. Simulation results for particle concentrations both in the interstitial fluid and deposited onto cells are compared for different values of particle surface charges during and after injection. Our results show that particles with a negative surface charge can spread farther from the injection location as compared to uncharged particles with charged particles occupying 100% of the tumour volume compared to 8.8% for uncharged particles. This has implications for the future development of radiosensitizers and any associated trials.
