Advances in NP shapes and their applications in cancer therapy.
Review in RSC advances, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Cancer is a major global cause of death, yet traditional treatments such as surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy have inherent limitations. Nanoparticles (NPs) are rapidly emerging as drug delivery systems for cancer treatments, offering promising advancements to overcome associated challenges and enhance therapies. Innovation in nanoparticle shapes is crucial in nanotechnology research worldwide. Studies indicate that the shape of nanoparticles can affect their tumor-targeting efficiency and blood circulation time. For example, the tumor accumulation of nanorods is reported to be 3-5-times higher than that of nanospheres, while the blood circulation time of nanodisks can be extended by 2-3-times compared to nanospheres. In this review, we first introduce different shapes of nanoparticles, illustrate their fabrication processes, and present their applications. Then, we examine recent research on NP shapes for various cancer treatments, discussing their challenges, perspectives, and potential impact on oncology and offering a deeper understanding.
