Effect of Transferrin-Modified Fe
Article in Thoracic cancer, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundExisting studies have shown that transferrin receptor (TfR) is highly expressed on the surface of lung cancer cells, and nanoparticles (NPs) have been widely used as delivery vehicles. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of the targeted delivery of Fe
methodsThe morphology and properties of Fe3O4 NPs modified with Tf were tested by internal morphological characterization experiments including transmission electron microscopy, particle size meter infrared spectrometer and other experiments. The delivery of materials was investigated by cell proliferation and apoptosis experiments, and western blot experiment was used to detect yes-associated protein 1(YAP1) protein expression changes after delivering miR-15a-5p. In addition, animal models were constructed to further explore the targeting properties of the material.
resultsThe results demonstrated that the nanomaterial has good stability and targeting properties. Meanwhile, we also discovered that the miR-15a-5p carried by NPs can inhibit cell growth after its entry to the lung cancer cells. The effect became more evident when the nanomaterials were assisted with laser therapy, as verified by in vivo and in vitro experiments. In terms of the related mechanism, miR-15a-5p inhibited YAP1 expression, which affected cell proliferation and apoptosis.
conclusionIn this study, Fe3O4 NPs modified with Tf delivered miR-15a-5p in combination with photothermal therapy for lung cancer. In future research, the targeted delivery of Tf and the photothermal synergy of nanomaterials will provide a theoretical basis for cancer treatment.
