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

introductionHepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) poses a major healthcare burden globally. Traditional Chinese medicine formula Bushen Jianpi (BSJP) recipe shows inhibitory effects on HCC but suffers from low bioavailability. This study aims to develop a BSJP-loaded liposome (BSJP@Lip) for targeted HCC treatment.

methodsBSJP@Lip was prepared using a microfluidic device. Particle characterization included size, morphology, drug loading, encapsulation efficiency, and release kinetics analysis. In vitro cytotoxicity, cellular uptake, apoptosis, and protein expression were evaluated in hepG2, Smmc-7721, and hepa 1-6 hepatic cancer cell lines treated with BSJP@Lip.

resultsBSJP@Lip nanoparticles showed a uniform spherical shape with an average size of 50 nm and zeta potential at around -2.24 mV. They significantly inhibited cell viability and induced apoptosis in a dose-dependent manner compared with traditional decoction formulations. Enhanced cellular uptake of BSJP@Lip increased the expression of proinflammatory factors IL-18 and NLRP3.

conclusionBSJP@Lip nanoparticles were found to be efficiently internalized by hepatic cancer cell lines, resulting in a dose-dependent inhibition of cell viability and induction of apoptosis. This effect was accompanied by the upregulation of IL-18 and NLRP3.
