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

Neurodegenerative diseases (NDs) are progressive and fatal disorders that primarily affect the elderly and remain incurable. Characterized by irreversible neuronal loss, they leave patients increasingly dependent on caregivers. Despite diverse clinical presentations, NDs share common pathological features, such as protein aggregation, metal accumulation, oxidative stress, and chronic neuroinflammation. Despite numerous efforts, most therapeutic candidates fail due to poor efficacy, toxicity concerns, or limited blood-brain barrier (BBB) permeability, thereby highlighting the need for enhanced formulations. Nanomedicine offers a promising strategy to improve the therapeutic performance of existing compounds. This study presents a nanoformulation of the metal chelator deferoxamine (DFO) based on the drug-structure-directing agent (DSDA) concept, in which a hydrophobic chain is covalently linked to the DFO molecule to impart amphiphilic properties and acts as a template for the synthesis of a mesoporous silica nanoparticle (MSN). This approach allows for the one-pot fabrication of DFO-loaded MSNs (DFO@MSNs) with controlled sizes of below 20 nm without the need for surfactant removal. Compared to MCM-41-based systems, DFO@MSNs exhibited a higher drug loading capacity (10 mg of DFO/100 mg of MSNs) and a significantly more sustained release profile, minimizing premature leakage, with less than 20% of the cargo released over 24 h. Safety of DFO@MSN was assessed using BV-2 microglial and human neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cell lines, and
