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

Cancer remains a critical global health challenge with increasing incidence rates. This study reports the first successful encapsulation of glytrexate (GTX), a novel 6-substituted-pyrrolo [2,3-d] pyrimidine compound, into liposomes. This innovative formulation increases the stability, half-life, and bioavailability of GTX while significantly reducing toxicity. GTX liposomes, with a uniform spherical shape and an average particle size of 121.7 ± 2.9 nm, demonstrated a satisfactory encapsulation efficiency (24.2 ± 0.99 %). Compared to the free drug, GTX liposomes exhibited significantly enhanced inhibitory effects on 4 T1, A549, and MCF-7 cells in vitro. The pharmacokinetic analysis showed prolonged circulation (T
