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

Chemotherapeutic drugs often fail to provide long-term efficacy due to their lack of specificity and high toxicity. To enhance the biosafety and reduce the side effects of these drugs, various nanocarrier delivery systems have been developed. In this study, we loaded the anticancer drug doxorubicin (DOX) and an MRI contrast agent into silica nanoparticles, coating them with pH-responsive and tumor cell-targeting polymers. These polymers enable the carrier to achieve targeted delivery and controlled drug release in acidic environments. This integrated diagnostic and therapeutic strategy successfully achieved both the diagnosis and treatment of liver cancer. Additionally, we demonstrated that the nanocarrier inhibits autophagic flux in liver cancer cells by targeting the autophagy-lysosome pathway and regulating the nuclear translocation of TFEB, thereby promoting tumor cell death. This novel diagnostic-integrated nanocarrier is expected to be a promising tool for targeted liver cancer treatment.
