Review in Nanomedicine (London, England), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

Substance use disorders (SUD) and HIV-associated neurocognitive disorders (HAND) work synergistically as a significant cause of cognitive decline in adults and adolescents globally. Current therapies continue to be limited due to difficulties crossing the blood-brain barrier (BBB) leading to limited precision and effectiveness, neurotoxicity, and lack of co-treatment options for both HAND and SUD. Nanoparticle-based therapeutics have several advantages over conventional therapies including more precise targeting, the ability to cross the BBB, and high biocompatibility which decreases toxicity and optimizes sustainability. These advantages extend to other neurological disorders such as Alzheimer's disease (AD) and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). This review summarizes recent advances in nanotechnology for application to HAND, SUD, and co-treatment, as well as other neurological disorders. This review also highlights the potential challenges these therapies face in clinical translation and long-term safety.
