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

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) offer unique opportunities for drug delivery due to their high porosity and the possibility of hosting large drug molecules within well-defined pore systems. In this work, the zirconium-based MOF NU-1000 was investigated as a carrier for the antineoplastic drug mitoxantrone (MTX). NU-1000 particles were synthesized and characterized by PXRD, SEM, and DLS, confirming their crystallinity, morphology, and size distribution. MTX loading was achieved by aqueous incubation and quantified by UV-Vis spectroscopy and thermogravimetric analysis, yielding a high loading capacity of ~40-43 wt%, with most of the uptake occurring within the first three hours. Structural characterization demonstrated that the MOF preserves its crystallinity and morphology after drug incorporation, while the DLS results suggest that MTX is mainly accommodated within the internal pore system. To improve stability under physiological conditions, the composite was coated with NH
