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

Graphene oxide (GO) is a promising nanocarrier for the delivery of oligonucleotides. It offers a high loading capacity, efficient cellular uptake, and surface functionalization. MicroRNA-21 (miR-21) is a well-characterized oncomiR commonly overexpressed in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). In HCC, miR-21 contributes to tumor progression, inflammation, and angiogenesis. In a previous in vitro study, we showed that GO alone induces the upregulation of pro-inflammatory and tumor-related genes in HepG2 cells. However, conjugation with an antisense miR-21 (GO-antisense miRNA 21) reverses this effect, suggesting a potential therapeutic application. This study aims to evaluate the antitumor and anti-angiogenic efficacy of the GO-antisense miR-21 nanosystem
