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

Brain tumors, particularly gliomas, are among the most lethal malignancies, with high mortality driven by a delayed diagnosis and limited therapeutic efficacy. A central challenge lies in the presence of the blood‑brain barrier (BBB), which severely impedes the delivery of systemically administered therapeutics to tumor sites. Addressing this clinical urgency, nanoparticle (NP)‑based delivery systems have emerged as a transformative strategy to enhance brain‑specific drug accumulation, minimize off‑target toxicity and improve treatment outcomes. The present review systematically examined the recent advances in nanocarrier technologies for targeted brain tumor therapy, including liposomes, solid lipid NPs, dendrimers, polymeric nanoplatforms and inorganic nanomaterials. The design principles, mechanisms for BBB traversal, therapeutic payload compatibility and tumor‑targeting capabilities of NP technologies demonstrated in preclinical models have also been highlighted. In addition to drug delivery, emerging applications of nanocarriers in gene therapy were explored and the impact of protein corona formation on NP behavior
