Nanomaterials based on hollow gold nanospheres for cancer therapy.
Review in Regenerative biomaterials, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Gold nanoparticles have recently been exploited as versatile nanocarriers in diagnostic and therapeutic drug delivery for cancer nanomedicine, owing to their biocompatibility, low biotoxicity, surface modifiability and plasma optical properties. A variety of gold nanoparticles have emerged for drug delivery, mainly including gold nanorods, gold nanocages, gold nanostars, gold solid nanospheres and hollow gold nanospheres (HGNs). Among these, HGNs have widely been studied for their higher photothermal conversion efficiency, wider spectral absorption range and stronger surface-enhanced Raman scattering compared with solid gold nanospheres. Therefore, nowadays, researchers prefer to use HGNs to other metal nanocarriers, which can not only play the role of controlled-release drugs but also act as photothermal agents for tumor therapy and diagnosis, due to their properties of surface modification. Combined with the Au-S bond on the surface of HGNs, the targeted preparation is loaded to achieve precise drug delivery. With the assistance of the photothermal characteristics of HGNs themselves, the efficacy of loaded drugs in HGNs is enhanced. In addition, HGNs also have vital values in the field of bioimaging, which serve as photothermal imaging agents and Raman scattering-guided preparations due to their surface-enhanced Raman scattering properties to assist researchers in achieving the purpose of tumor diagnosis. In this review, we summarize the synthesis methods of HGNs and the recent application of HGNs-based nanomaterials in the field of cancer diagnosis and therapy. In addition, the issues to be addressed were pointed out for a bright prospect of HGNs-based nanomaterials.
