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
Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) is a rare malignant tumor with limited treatment options. Celastrol (Cela) shows potential treatment for ICC, but its clinical use is hindered by poor water solubility and toxic side effects. To address these challenges and enhance its anti-tumor efficacy, we developed hyaluronic acid (HA)-coated triphenylphosphine complex-modified liposomes (HCTL) for accurate delivery of Cela to tumor cell mitochondria.HCTL enhances Cela's water solubility and demonstrates a high rate of encapsulation, stability, and sustained drug release behavior. Moreover, HCTL exhibits outstanding anti-ICC efficacy by efficiently inducing apoptosis in ICC cells via the mitochondrial pathway due to its precise targeting capabilities. In an in-situ ICC mouse model activated by hydrodynamic transfection of AKT and Yap, HCTL downregulates tumor-associated proliferative indices, attenuates the severity of liver injury and modulates the tumor microenvironment. Importantly, HCTL overcomes systemic toxicity associated with Cela. To sum up, HCTL is a potentially effective drug delivery system for ICC treatment.
