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

Combination therapies have largely replaced monotherapies in oncology. Thermal therapy has been developed as an adjunctive treatment owing to its safety and high compatibility with established theraypy options. However, bulky equipment and non-standardized protocols have limited its clinical use. The emergence of gold nanoparticle (AuNP)-based photothermal therapy (PTT) offers a simpler approach using injectable formulations and portable near-infrared (NIR) laser devices. However, poor excretion of AuNPs raises safety concerns and hinders translation. Here, we designed a gold nanoplatform that retains the photothermal capacity of AuNPs while enabling efficient excretion. Ultrasmall AuNPs (<6 nm) with a hydrophilic coating may be renally cleared, but clustering normally alters biodistribution and results in long-term hepatic deposition, prior to excretion. In this study, we employed
