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

Inspired by the attractions of fruit flies to polyamines of rotten food, we developed a facile, bio-orthogonal, supramolecular homing and hunting strategy, relying on the elevated levels of polyamines in tumor as the natural guest cues to attract cucurbit [7] uril (CB[7]) functionalized liposomes to the tumor site, owing to the strong, bio-orthogonal host-guest interactions between CB[7] and polyamines. This supramolecular homing enabled a high targeting efficiency of CB[7] functionalized liposomes, and allowed better tissue penetration and retention in breast tumor. The employment of a receptor functionalized nanomedicine for direct tropism towards endogenous biomarkers as guest cues, reminiscent of natural chemotaxis but in a bio-orthogonal manner, has not been previously reported, offering new sights to the design and development of new nanoformulations that rely on bio-orthogonal interactions for chemotaxis-guided targeting.
