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 poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) based nanoparticles have been applied for drug delivery due to their simple preparation, biodegradability, and ideal biocompatibility. In this study, the factors affecting the degradation of PLGA-based nanoparticles are reviewed, encompassing the ratio of PLA to PGA, relative molecular weight, crystallinity, and preparation process of PLGA nanoparticles. The drug release behavior of PLGA-based nanoparticles, such as the degradation environment, encapsulated drug properties of polymers, and drug loading rates, are also discussed. Since gastrointestinal cancer is one of the major global threats to human health, this paper comprehensively summarizes the application of PLGA nanoparticles in gastrointestinal cancers from diagnosis, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and novel tumor treatment methods (immunotherapy, gene therapy, and photothermal therapy). Finally, the future application of PLGA-based drug delivery systems in treating gastrointestinal cancers is discussed. The bottleneck of application status and the prospect of PLGA-nanoparticles in gastrointestinal tumor application are presented. To truly realize the great and wide application of PLGA-based nanoparticles, collaborative progress in the field of nanomaterials and life sciences is needed.
