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

Introduction: To address the poor water solubility and low bioavailability of the curcumin derivative CU1, this study constructed a long-circulating pH-sensitive nanoliposome (CU1-LCpHL) as its delivery system. Methods: The physicochemical properties, stability, and anti-lung cancer efficacy of CU1-LCpHL were systematically evaluated, including in vitro cellular assays (cellular uptake, apoptosis, proliferation, and migration), in vivo pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics, mechanistic studies, and immunohistochemical analysis. Results: CU1-LCpHL presented a spherical morphology with uniform particle size. Its lyophilized powder remained stable for at least three months at 25°C and exhibited sustained-release characteristics. In vitro experiments demonstrated that, compared to free curcumin (CU), free CU1, and long-circulating stable nanoliposomes (CU1-LSLN), CU1-LCpHL promoted more efficient cellular uptake, induced apoptosis, and significantly inhibited the proliferation and migration of lung cancer cells. Pharmacokinetic studies revealed that the area under the curve (AUC Conclusion: CU1-LCpHL significantly enhances the delivery efficiency and antitumor efficacy of CU1, representing a promising nano-drug delivery system for lung cancer therapy.
