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

Despite the potential of the enhanced permeability and retention (EPR) effect in tumor passive targeting, many nanotherapeutics have failed to produce meaningful clinical outcomes due to the variable and challenging nature of the tumor microenvironment (TME) and EPR effect. This EPR variability across tumors and inconsistent translation of nanomedicines from preclinical to clinical settings necessitates a reliable method to assess its presence in individual tumors. This study aimed to develop a reliable and non-invasive approach to estimate the EPR effect in tumors using a clinically compatible quantitative magnetic resonance imaging (qMRI) technique combined with a nano-sized MRI contrast agent. A quantitative MR imaging was developed using a dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE) MRI protocol. Then, the permeability and retention of the nano-sized MRI contrast agent were evaluated in three different ovarian xenograft tumor models. Results showed significant differences in EPR effects among the tumor models, with tumor growth influencing the calculated parameters of permeability (K
