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

Active drug delivery systems for cancer therapy are gaining attention for their biocompatibility and enhanced efficacy compared to conventional chemotherapy and surgery. To improve precision in targeted drug delivery (TDD), actuating devices using external magnetic fields are employed. However, a key challenge is the inability to visually track magnetic drug carriers in blood vessels, complicating navigation to the target. Magnetic particle imaging (MPI) systems can localize magnetic carriers (MCs) but rely on bulky electromagnetic coils to generate a static magnetic field gradient, creating a field-free point (FFP) within the field of view (FOV). Also, additional coils are required to move the FFP across the FOV, limiting flexibility and increasing the system size. To address these issues, we propose a non-FFP-based, open-type RF coil system with a simplified structure composed of a Tx/Rx coil and a permanent magnet at the coil center, eliminating the need for an FFP. Furthermore, integrating a robotic arm for coil assembly enables easy adjustment of the FOV size and location. Finally, imaging tests with magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) confirmed the system's ability to detect and localize a minimum mass of 0.3 mg (Fe) in 80 × 80 mm
