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

Chemotherapy and photothermal therapy have demonstrated significant promise in the treatment of gastric cancer. A stable, effective, and safe photothermal agent is needed in this synergic system. Here, carbon quantum dots (CDs), an efficient photothermal agent, were first developed. By encapsulating CDs and the gastric cancer drug camptothecin (CT) in liposomes (Lip), a folic acid (FA)-targeted multifunctional photothermal nanosystem was rationally developed. To augment the photothermal performance and accelerate liposome cleavage for drug release, a NIR photothermal agent, indocyanine green (IG), was incorporated into the bilayer membranes. This built photothermal multifunctional nanosystem was triggered by an NIR laser and demonstrated payload-controlled release, in addition to exceptional performance with a photothermal conversion efficacy of up to 46.97%. The multifunctional photothermal nanosystem demonstrated superior cytocompatibility, stimuli-responsive drug release, improved tumor-specific targeting, and efficient cell death of NCI-N87 gastric cancer cells through multimodal synergic treatment. The effective development of this NIR-triggered, cell-targeted, photothermal, multifunctional nanosystem would enhance the therapeutic efficiency of gastric cancer therapy and offer a potential approach for designing and developing synergistic chemo-photothermal combination therapies.
