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

purposeTo prepare mixed polymeric micelles that can carry two different drugs, doxorubicin (DOX) and 17-hydroxyethylamino-17-demethoxygeldanamycin (GDM-OH), for combination cancer chemotherapy.

methodsThe pH-sensitive micelles were prepared from poly(ethylene glycol)-poly(aspartate hydrazide) block copolymers to which either DOX or GDM-OH is conjugated through acid-labile hydrazone bond (individual micelles). Mixed micelles were formed not only by simply mixing two different individual micelles in aqueous solutions (aqueous mixed micelles) but also by evaporating organic solvents from the organic/aqueous mixed solvents in which two block copolymers possessing different drugs were dissolved homogeneously (organic mixed micelles). Particle size measurements, pH-dependent drug release tests, cytotoxicity assays and western blot analysis were subsequently conducted.

resultsIndividual and aqueous/organic mixed micelles showed clinically relevant particle size (<100 nm) and pH-dependent drug release patterns. Mixed polymer micelles suppress cancer cell growth effectively in a drug concentration, mixing method and schedule-dependent way.

conclusionCombination chemotherapy using polymeric micelles seems to minimize a schedule-dependent change in combination drug efficacy in comparison to drug combination using DMSO formulations.
