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

Chemo-resistance from cancer stem cells (CSCs) subpopulation is a current issue in cancer treatment. It is important to select alternative therapies to efficiently eradicate both bulk cancer cells and CSCs. Here, gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) have been selected regarding their biocompatibility, facile and controllable synthesis, potent anti-cancer activity and photothermal conversion performance. We reported a green synthesis of functionalized AuNPs using hyaluronic acid (HA) as a reductant, capping, stabilizing and hydrophilic substance. The resultant AuNPs were spherical-shaped with an average diameter of around 30 nm. These AuNPs displayed improved physico-chemical (yield, stability, photothermal effect) and biological properties (cellular uptake, cytotoxicity and apoptotic effect) against bulk MDA-MB-231 cells, in comparison with other organic anti-cancer drugs. The intensified bioactivity was dependent on a mitochondria-mediated cascade, reflected by the damage in mitochondria, oxidative stress, intensified Caspase 3 activity and increased/decreased expression of certain pro-apoptotic (
