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

MXenes, a burgeoning class of two-dimensional transition metal carbides and nitrides, have emerged as promising candidates for biomedical applications owing to their exceptional physicochemical properties and versatile surface chemistry. This review comprehensively examines the biocompatibility and immunomodulatory behavior of MXenes, with a particular emphasis on their potential in drug delivery systems. We elucidate the critical aspects of MXene-protein interactions, including protein corona formation, cellular uptake pathways, and the influence of surface functionalization on biological interfaces. Special attention is given to the immunological profile of MXenes, exploring their immunogenic potential and immunomodulatory capabilities within therapeutic contexts. Furthermore, we assess the viability of MXenes as nanocarriers for drugs and bioactive compounds, analyzing a wide array of functionalization strategies and stimuli-responsive release mechanisms aimed at enhancing therapeutic efficacy. Despite their immense potential, challenges such as long-term stability, cytotoxicity, and clinical translatability persist. We conclude by outlining these limitations and proposing strategic avenues for future research. This review serves as a vital resource for researchers at the intersection of materials science and biomedicine, particularly those advancing next-generation, two-dimensional nanomaterial-based drug delivery platforms.
