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

One of the most limiting factors in cancer treatment is the difficulty of delivering anticancer agents effectively to tumor sites. To overcome this challenge, this research focuses on developing a carrier that has been modified to possess amphiphilic properties while remaining biodegradable and biocompatible. Amphiphilic esters derived from poly(γ-glutamic acid) by modifying the carboxylate side groups with 4-phenyl-butyl bromide were prepared. These copolymers self-assembled into nanoparticles via nanoprecipitation. The cytocompatibility of the nanoparticles was assessed through lactate dehydrogenase release and metabolic activity of U-87 glioma cells. Fluorescein isothiocyanate labeling demonstrated effective cellular uptake of nanoparticles. These nanoparticles were further decorated with polyethylene glycol (PEG) and a PEG-folic acid conjugate (FA-PEG-NH
