Integrating Therapeutic Ultrasound With Nanosized Drug Delivery Systems in the Battle Against Cancer.
Review in Technology in cancer research & treatment. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 5 papers.
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.
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
Controlled, localized, and timely activation of nanosized drug delivery systems (NSDDSs), using an external stimulus such as therapeutic ultrasound (TUS), can improve the efficacy of cancer treatments compared to either conventional chemotherapy methods or passive NSDDSs alone. Specifically, TUS induces thermal and mechanical effects that trigger drug release from NSDDSs and overcomes drug delivery barriers in tumor microenvironments to allow nanoparticle drug carriers to penetrate more deeply into tumor tissue while minimizing side effects. This review highlights recent advancements, contemplates future prospects, and addresses challenges in using TUS-mediated NSDDSs for cancer treatment, encompassing preclinical and clinical applications.
