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

Thrombotic cerebro-cardiovascular diseases are the leading causes of disability and death worldwide. However, current drug therapeutics are compromised by narrow therapeutic windows, unsatisfactory thrombolysis effects, severe bleeding events, and high recurrence rates. In this study, we exploit a self-propelling nano-penetrator with high fuel loading and controllable motion features, which is molecularly co-assembled using a photothermal photosensitizer (DiR) and a photothermal-activable NO donor (BNN6). The precisely engineered nano-penetrator of the BNN6-DiR fuel pair shows distinct advantages in terms of NO productivity and autonomous motion under laser irradiation. In animal models of artery/vein thrombosis and acute ischemic stroke, the self-fueled nano-penetrator enables self-navigated thrombus-homing accumulation, self-propelled clot deep penetration, fluorescence image-guided photothermal/mechanical thrombolysis, and NO-mediated prevention of thrombosis recurrence and acute ischemic stroke salvage. As expected, the molecularly self-fueled nano-penetrator displayed favorable therapeutic outcomes without bleeding risk compared to the clinically available thrombolytic drug. This study offers a facile, safe, and effective nonpharmaceutical modality towards the clinical treatment of thrombosis and ischemic stroke.
