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

Nanotechnology has emerged as a promising avenue for producing nanomedicines as alternatives to conventional drugs. Many organic nanoparticles, such as liposomes used in formulations like Doxil, Onivyde, and Marqibo, are approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and instrumental in treating various types of cancers. However, due to the many challenges associated with these formulations, alternative delivery systems have been explored, particularly those derived from inorganic sources. In particular, bioinorganic nano-based delivery systems (BNDSs) such as gold, silver, platinum, silicon-based, metal oxide and hybrid nanoparticles have been found to be useful in treating cancer and infectious and noncommunicable diseases. This review presents the most commonly used BNDSs, providing an in-depth discussion on their use as therapeutic and imaging agents, the challenges associated with their use and current trends and future perspectives in their development for enhancing efficacy.
