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

The development of effective drug delivery strategy by employing novel nano-careers are advantageous for targeted and controlled drug release. The present work describes about such a strategy in the form of a protein stabilized ultrasmall gold nanocluster as nano-career for the delivery of anticancer drug Gemcitabine (Gem). Gold nanocluster (AuNCs) stabilized by bovine serum albumin (BSA) was synthesized and characterized in detail including its stability, size distribution, toxicity, and photo-physical properties. It was revealed that monodispersed gold particles (~ 1.5 nm) dispersible in aqueous phase with unique optical absorption and emission characteristics (λabs = 450 nm, λemi = 650 nm), high stability and minimum toxicity was obtained. Afterward, an anticancer drug (Gem) was conjugated with the gold cluster through simple chemical mixing resulting in the formation of 55% drug load Au nanocluster (Gem-AuNCs-BSA). The resultant Gem-AuNCs-BSA showed enhanced delivery of drug and therapeutic effects for the treatment of breast cancer and lung cancer with better efficacy than free Gemcitabine.
