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

Conventional treatments for glioblastoma (GBM) are hindered by systemic toxicity, limited blood-brain barrier penetration, and therapeutic resistance. To address these challenges, we developed dual-functionalized gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) conjugated with a biotinylated NFL-TBS.40-63 peptide and the chemotherapeutic agent doxorubicin. This platform integrates targeted delivery and therapeutic action to enhance efficacy while minimising off-target effects. Our findings reveal superior cellular uptake, dose- and time-dependent cytotoxicity, and apoptosis induction in GBM cells compared to mono-functionalized counterparts. Furthermore, pH-sensitive drug release profiles underscore the system's potential to exploit the tumour microenvironment's acidic conditions for precise drug delivery. Comprehensive characterisation confirmed the stability, biocompatibility, and functional efficacy of the dual-functionalized AuNPs. This study highlights the promise of these nanoconjugates as a multimodal approach to GBM therapy, paving the way for further translational research in nanomedicine.
