The Importance of Biotinylation for the Suitability of Cationic and Neutral Fourth-Generation Polyamidoamine Dendrimers as Targeted Drug Carriers in the Therapy of Glioma and Liver Cancer.

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
In this study, we hypothesized that biotinylated and/or glycidol-flanked fourth-generation polyamidoamine (PAMAM G4) dendrimers could be a tool for efficient drug transport into glioma and liver cancer cells. For this purpose, native PAMAM (G4) dendrimers, biotinylated (G4B), glycidylated (G4gl), and biotinylated and glycidylated (G4Bgl), were synthesized, and their cytotoxicity, uptake, and accumulation in vitro and in vivo were studied in relation to the transport mediated by the sodium-dependent multivitamin transporter (SMVT). The studies showed that the human temozolomide-resistant glioma cell line (U-118 MG) and hepatocellular carcinoma cell line (HepG2) indicated a higher amount of SMVT than human HaCaT keratinocytes (HaCaTs) used as a model of normal cells. The G4gl and G4Bgl dendrimers were highly biocompatible in vitro (they did not affect proliferation and mitochondrial activity) against HaCaT and U-118 MG glioma cells and in vivo (against
