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

Colon cancer remains a major global health burden characterized by uncontrolled proliferation, oxidative stress, and poor responsiveness to conventional therapies, underscoring the need for biocompatible and targeted nanotherapeutic interventions. In this study, a novel pH-responsive human serum albumin-based nanocarrier, HSA-BA@PEG-LC NPs, was designed for the efficient and selective delivery of baicalein (BA) to colon cancer cells. Molecular docking analysis demonstrated strong binding affinities of BA with Hsp90 inhibitors and with human serum albumin (HSA), as well as a notable interaction between l-citrulline (LC) and the cationic amino acid transporter 1 (CAT-1), highlighting their potential roles in anticancer modulation. The engineered nanoparticles exhibited a uniform spherical morphology (232 nm), low polydispersity index (PDI < 0.3), and high colloidal stability (-27.21 mV). Spectroscopic analyses (FTIR and
