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
introductionInhalation drug delivery can deliver high doses of chemotherapeutic drugs to the lung tumor. This study evaluates the efficacy and the mechanistic pathways of nebulized Cur NPs at various sizes to treat multidrug resistant lung cancer. METHODS AND
resultsCur-NPs (30 nm and 200 nm) were nebulized separately onto the multidrug-resistant lung cancer cells (H69AR). Smaller NPs induced significantly higher cell death owing to a higher rate of particle internalization via dynamin-dependent clathrin-mediated endocytosis. Owing to the higher lysosome trafficking of Cur-NP30 nm compared to Cur-NP
conclusionsNebulized Cur-NPs formulations could be internalized into the H69AR cells. The Cur-NPs toxicity toward the H69AR was size and time-dependent. Cur-NP30 nm was more effective than Cur-NP200 nm to retain within the cells to exert higher oxidative stresss-induced cell death.
