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

Selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs)-derived bioactives have garnered considerable attention in recent years due to their unique bioactivity, favorable biocompatibility, and versatile engineering potential in the field of disease therapy. This review systematically summarizes the primary strategies for SeNPs synthesis, encompassing chemical, biological, and physical approaches, and provides an in-depth discussion on their cytotoxic mechanisms mediated through oxidative stress modulation, caspase signaling activation, mitochondrial dysfunction, and adenosine triphosphate (ATP) depletion. Notably, we highlight the multidimensional protective functions of SeNPs in scavenging reactive oxygen species, modulating inflammatory cytokines, and reshaping the immune microenvironment, elucidating their pivotal roles in antioxidation, anti-inflammation, and immune regulation. Furthermore, the review outlines the cutting-edge advances of SeNPs-derived bioactives in cancer treatment, antibacterial applications, inflammatory diseases treatment, radiation protection, reversing acute kidney injury (AKI), and antiviral applications, positioning SeNPs as next-generation therapeutic platforms. This review establishes a translational roadmap for selenium-enabled therapeutics, bridging molecular redox modulation to multimodal disease interventions, with forward-looking insights into their evolution as targeted bioactives.
