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

Peptide drugs have been broadly applied in cancer treatment and diagnosis due to their ability to accurately identify biomarkers with good biocompatibility. However, their clinical application is limited by protease degradation, which induces short circulation half-life, low bioavailability, and high renal clearance. In recent years, delivery systems based on nanomaterial technology have become an important strategy to break through the bottleneck of peptide drug delivery. Among them, N-(2-hydroxypropyl) methacrylamide (HPMA) copolymers have attracted much attention due to their good biocompatibility, hydrophilicity, and low immunogenicity. The high molecular weight of HPMA copolymer-peptide can circumvent renal clearance, significantly prolong the circulation time in the body, and achieve drug accumulation and microenvironment-triggered release synergistically with EPR effects and active targeting. This review introduces the basic properties of HPMA copolymers, including solubility, biocompatibility, and tunable chemical structure. The important applications of HPMA copolymer-peptide in tumor diagnosis and treatment are discussed. This review deepens our understanding of the future development of HPMA copolymers and will provide more references for improving peptides by simple copolymers.
