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

Quantum nanomedicine and quantum biomaterials, as an interdisciplinary field, deeply integrate quantum science, material science, nanotechnology, biology, and medicine. Here, we define quantum nanomedicine and quantum biomaterials as a paradigm that harnesses quantum effects in nanomedicine and biomaterials, including quantum superposition, quantum coherence, quantum tunneling, topological quantum effects, and spin polarization, to achieve either spatiotemporally precise modulation of physiological activity and therapeutic intervention or the enhancement of intrinsic physiochemical properties for amplified therapeutic outcomes. This article systematically elucidates how quantum effects govern fundamental life processes and prospectively explores their potential in enabling innovative therapeutic strategies. The typical mechanisms of quantum biological effects involve quantum coherence in photosynthetic energy transfer, spin polarization in modulating reactive oxygen species generation, and quantum biological electron tunneling as verified in cytochrome c (Cyt c). These principles provide a theoretical foundation for the rational design of quantum nanomedicine and biomaterials. By controlling quantum coherence, quantum tunneling, and spin properties, the precise spatiotemporal regulation of biomolecular interactions and cellular signaling pathways can be achieved. The herein proposed quantum nanomedicine and quantum biomaterials establish a new paradigm for intervening in life processes at electronic and informational levels, thereby laying a scientific foundation for developing next‑generation diagnostic and therapeutic platforms.
