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

Ovarian cancer is a common malignancy affecting the female reproductive system. Curcumin (Cur) demonstrates potential as a treatment for ovarian cancer, but creating an effective curcumin-based drug delivery system remains challenging. The advent of the Zeolitic Imidazolate Framework (ZIF) system offers a novel approach for antitumor drug delivery. In this study, effective drug delivery to ovarian cancer cells was accomplished through the construction of a ZIF-based nanodrug delivery system, ZIF-Cur, that encapsulates curcumin. We verified that Cur delivered by ZIF enhanced mitochondrial ROS accumulation in tumor cells, thereby killing tumor cells. The system showed the well biosafety profile, offering a insight therapeutic perspective for ovarian cancer treatment.
