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

Skin cancer continues to pose a significant global health burden, with conventional therapeutic modalities limited by systemic toxicity, poor tumor selectivity, and the development of therapeutic resistance. Glucosinolates (GLs) and their hydrolyzed product, sulforaphane, have attracted considerable interest as chemopreventive and therapeutic agents owing to their potent antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and pleiotropic anticancer activities. However, the clinical translation of these phytochemicals is severely hindered by their chemical instability, rapid metabolism, and poor bioavailability. Nanocarrier systems, particularly biodegradable polymeric nanoparticles such as poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) nanoparticles, offer a promising strategy to overcome these barriers by enhancing compound stability, improving bioavailability, and enabling tumor-targeted delivery via the enhanced permeability and retention effect. This review critically evaluates recent progress in the development of GL and sulforaphane-loaded nanocarriers, detailing their physicochemical properties, in vitro and in vivo anticancer efficacy, and safety profiles, highlighting their potential to advance more effective and less toxic therapeutic strategies for skin cancer prevention and treatment.
