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

Pancreatic cancer is a highly fatal disease characterized by a dominant stroma formation. Exploring new biological targets, specifically those overexpressed in stroma cells, holds significant potential for the design of specific nanocarriers to attain homing of therapeutic and imaging agents to the tumor. In clinical specimens of pancreatic cancer, we found increased expression of CD59 in tumor associated endothelial cells as well as infiltrating cells in the stroma as compared to uninvolved pancreas. We explored this dual targeting effect using orthotopic human pancreatic cancer in nude mice. By immunofluorescence analysis, we confirmed the increased expression of Ly6C, mouse homolog of CD59, in tumor associated endothelial cells as well as in macrophages within the stroma. We decorated the surface of porous silicon nanocarriers with Ly6C antibody. Targeted nanocarriers injected intravenously accumulated to tumor associated endothelial cells within 15min. At 4h after administration, 9.8±2.3% of injected dose/g tumor of the Ly6C targeting nanocarriers accumulated in the pancreatic tumors as opposed to 0.5±1.8% with non-targeted nanocarriers. These results suggest that Ly6C (or CD59) can serve as a novel dual target to deliver therapeutic agents to the stroma of pancreatic tumors.
