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

The chemotherapeutic Lenvatinib (LVB) and a nitric oxide (NO) photodonor based on a rhodamine antenna (RD-NO) activatable by the highly compatible green light are supramolecularly assembled by a β-cyclodextrin branched polymer (PolyCD). The poorly water-soluble LVB and RD-NO solubilize very well within the polymeric host leading to a ternary supramolecular nanoassembly with a diameter of ~55 nm. The efficiency of the NO photorelease and the typical red fluorescence of RD-NO significantly enhance within the polymer due to its active role in the photochemical and photophysical deactivation pathways. The co-presence of LVB within the same host does not affect either the nature or the efficiency of the photoinduced processes of RD-NO. Besides, irradiation of RD-NO does not lead to the decomposition of LVB, ruling out any intermolecular photoinduced process between the two guests despite sharing the same host. Ad-hoc devised Förster Resonance Energy Transfer experiments demonstrate this to be the result of the not close proximity of the two guests, which are confined in different compartments of the same polymeric host. The supramolecular complex is stable in a culture medium, and its biological activity has been evaluated against HEP-G2 hepatocarcinoma cell lines in the dark and under irradiation with visible green light, using LVB at a concentration well below the IC
