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 evaluate the effect of the size of low molecular weight hyaluronan (LMW-HA) oligomers on the targeting ability of the HA-containing copolymers to the CD44-overexpressing cells for delivering Paclitaxel (PTX) to ovarian cancer.

methodsLMW-HA oligosaccharides of 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 and 14 sugar residues were attained by digestion of HMW-HA using hyaluronate lyase at different incubation times and then attached to FITC-labeled HPMA copolymer precursor. The binding and uptake of the HA-modified HPMA-copolymer into CD44-expressing cells was studied by flow cytometry and confocal microscopy. PTX was further attached to HPMA-copolymer precursor bearing HA oligosaccharide at the size of 34 monosaccharides, through an acid-sensitive hydrazone linker. The cytotoxicity of the polymer was tested using cell viability assay.

resultsPolymer conjugates bearing HA oligomers at the size of 10 oligosaccharides and above (HA(10-14)) bind actively and profoundly to CD44-overexpressing ovarian cancer cells (SK-OV-3) and internalize to the greatest extent relative to HA-polymer conjugates of 8 oligomers and below (HA(4-8)). The HA-modified HPMA-copolymer PTX conjugate (P-(HA)(34)-PTX) exhibited 50-times higher cytotoxicity towards CD44-overexpressing cells relative to the control, non-targeted, HPMA-copolymer PTX conjugate (P-PTX).

conclusionsP-(HA)(34)-PTX was significantly more toxic than the non-targeted P-PTX in cells expressing high levels of CD44.
