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

10-Hydroxycamptothecin (HCPT) elicits strong anti-cancer effects and is less toxic than camptothecin (CPT), making it widely used in recent clinical trials. However, its low solubility limits its application as an effective anti-cancer therapy. In the present study we investigate the hypothesis that the unique water dispersible oleic acid-Triton X-100-coated Fe3O4 nanoparticles loaded with HCPT disrupt epithelial cell-cell junctions and induce human lung cancer cell apoptosis through the caspase-8 pathway. We characterized the HCPT-loaded nanoparticles and determined their effects on lung cancer cell viability and apoptosis by using immunofluorescence light microscopy and SDS-PAGE/immunoblots. We found that HCPT-loaded nanoparticles elicited an anti-proliferative effect in a dose-dependent manner. HCPT-loaded nanoparticles reduced the expression of cell-cell junction protein claudins, E-cadherin and ZO-1, and transmission electron microcopy demonstrated a disrupted tight junction ultrastructure. Transepithelial electric resistance was also reduced, indicating the reduction of tight junction functions. The HCPT-loaded nanoparticles increased phosphorylation of p38 and SAPK/JNK while it showed no effects on p42/44 MAP kinase. Compared with void Fe3O4 nanoparticles or HCPT drug alone, HCPT drug-loaded nanoparticles evoked synergistic effects by increasing cell apoptosis with enhanced activation of the caspase-8 pathway. Therefore, our current study highlights the potential of HCPT drug-loaded nanoparticles as a chemotherapeutic agent for increasing anti-cancer drug efficacy.
