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

Dense aggregation of magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) in cellular environments is a major contributor to reduced magnetic hyperthermia (MH) efficiency; however, in situ magnetic characterization remains challenging, necessitating reliable extracellular models to predict such behavior. In this study, soft and dense aggregates (≈200 nm) are engineered using 10 nm iron oxide MNPs, encapsulated in polymeric (soft) or inorganic (dense) shells, with morphological features and strong magnetic dipolar interactions confirming their similarity to nanoparticle assemblies found in living cells. Unlike previous studies that induced aggregation by modifying the surrounding medium, the approach enables controlled, invariant aggregation states, allowing systematic evaluation of the transition from soft to dense aggregation under both aqueous and high-viscosity, cell-mimicking conditions. Results demonstrate that dense aggregation leads to a >20% reduction in specific absorption rate (SAR), primarily due to decreased remanent magnetization (M
