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

Nanogels, of which the three-dimensional network structures are covalently crosslinked by crosslinkers and supported by large number of hydrogen bonds, present unique volume phase transition (VPT) and play significant roles in multiple biomedical applications. Based on hydrogen bonds, the VPT features including the shift, sharpness, and range of VPT, can be rationally designed and precisely controlled by simply regulating the monomer, comonomer, crosslinker, structure, deuteration, environmental stimuli, and so on, for tailored biomedical applications such as transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE) and tumor targeting drug delivery (TTDD). Moreover, the exploration of the minimum value of physicochemical properties around volume phase transition temperature (VPTT) exhibits great potential in improving current tumor therapies and developing more therapeutic strategies. Integrating systematic knowledge of nanogel VPT properties, we provide the guidance for rational design of nanogels with tailored biomedical applications.
