Evaluation of PAMAM Dendrimer-Stabilized Gold Nanoparticles: Two-Stage Procedure Synthesis and Toxicity Assessment in MCF-7 Breast Cancer Cells.
Article in Molecules (Basel, Switzerland), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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 stabilized with polyamidoamine dendrimers are one of the potential candidates for use as a contrast agent in computed tomography and a drug delivery agent. This work demonstrates a rapid, two-step synthesis of such complexes, which are size-stable for up to 18 months. The first step of the synthesis involves a short sonication of gold (III) chloride hydrate with polyamidoamine dendrimers of the fourth generation, while the second step uses microwaves to reduce gold (III) chloride hydrate with sodium citrate. The developed synthesis method enables rapid production of spherical and monodisperse gold nanoparticles stabilized with polyamidoamine dendrimers. Physicochemical characterization of the gold nanoparticle-polyamidoamine dendrimers complexes was performed using ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy, dynamic light scattering technique, infrared spectroscopy, atomic force microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy. The toxicity of synthesized complexes on the breast cancer MCF-7 cell line has been studied using the tetrazolium salt reduction test. The produced gold nanoparticles revealed lower toxicity levels on the MCF-7 cell line after 18 months from synthesis compared with newly synthesized colloids. Synthesized gold nanoparticles stabilized with dendrimers and commercially available gold nanoparticles stabilized with sodium citrate show similar toxicity levels on breast cancer cells.
