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

Nanoparticle-based systems imbued with both diagnostic and therapeutic functions, known as nanotheranostics, have enabled remarkable progress in guiding focal therapy, inducing active responses to endogenous and exogenous biophysical stimuli, and stratifying patients for optimal treatment. However, although in recent years more nanotechnological platforms and techniques have been implemented in the clinic, several important challenges remain that are specific to nanotheranostics. In this Review, we first discuss some of the many ways of 'constructing' nanotheranostics, focusing on the different imaging modalities and therapeutic strategies. We then outline nanotheranostics that are currently used in humans at different stages of clinical development, identifying specific advantages and opportunities. Finally, we define critical steps along the winding road of preclinical and clinical development and suggest actions to overcome technical, manufacturing, regulatory and economical challenges for the safe and effective clinical translation of nanotheranostics.
