Aptamer-Functionalized Redox-Responsive Mesoporous Organosilica-Coated Selenium Nanoparticles for Targeted Therapy of Triple-Negative Breast Cancer Cells.
Article in ACS omega, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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.
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
Selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) exhibit tumor-suppressive capabilities via reactive oxygen species (ROS)-mediated mitochondrial dysfunction, yet their biomedical application remains constrained by poor targeting specificity and aqueous instability. Herein, we engineered glutathione-responsive therapeutic nanoparticles by encapsulating SeNPs within mesoporous organosilica (MON) isolation layers to ensure aqueous stability, while conjugating LXL-1 aptamers for targeted delivery to triple-negative MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells. In vitro assessments across breast cell lines (MDA-MB-231 vs MCF-10A/MCF-7) revealed a 5.32-fold increase in cellular uptake of functionalized SeNPs in target cells, attributed to aptamer-mediated recognition. The optimized nanoformulation exhibited potent cytotoxicity comparable to doxorubicin-loaded MON controls at equivalent doses. Moreover, the aptamer-functionalized system significantly reduced cancer cell survival compared to the unmodified group (IC
