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

backgroundThe difficulty of achieving targeted drug delivery following administration of presently marketed anticancer therapeutics is still a concern. Metallic nanoparticles (NPs) appear to be promising in this regard. The present study focused on the use of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) as a drug carrier for anticancer Doxorubicin (DOX) forming DOX-AuNPs nanocomposite. The anticancer effect of the prepared nanocomposite was evaluated using SRP essay on breast cancer cell line (MCF7) for different incubation times (24 h,48, and72hr). The prepared DOX-AuNPs nanocomposite was investigated by UV-visible spectroscopy, TEM, fluorescence spectroscopy, and FTIR spectroscopy.

resultsOur results showed that the prepared AuNPs and DOX-AuNPs nanocomposite have spherical and small size10 ± 2 nm and 12 ± 2 nm respectively. The potential cytotoxicity of the DOX-AuNPs nanocomposite on the MCF7 cell line was significantly increased compared to free DOX. The 20 µM DOX- AuNPs nanocomposite produced a similar decrease in cell survival as 80 µM free DOX.

conclusionFuture work is in progress to investigate the positive effects of the prepared nanocomposite for chemo-photothermal combination treatment.
