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

Since the first use of biocompatible mesoporous silica (mSiO2) nanoparticles as drug delivery vehicles, in vivo tumor targeted imaging and enhanced anticancer drug delivery has remained a major challenge. In this work, we describe the development of functionalized mSiO2 nanoparticles for actively targeted positron emission tomography (PET) imaging and drug delivery in 4T1 murine breast tumor-bearing mice. Our structural design involves the synthesis, surface functionalization with thiol groups, PEGylation, TRC105 antibody (specific for CD105/endoglin) conjugation, and (64)Cu-labeling of uniform 80 nm sized mSiO2 nanoparticles. Systematic in vivo tumor targeting studies clearly demonstrated that (64)Cu-NOTA-mSiO2-PEG-TRC105 could accumulate prominently at the 4T1 tumor site via both the enhanced permeability and retention effect and TRC105-mediated binding to tumor vasculature CD105. As a proof-of-concept, we also demonstrated successful enhanced tumor targeted delivery of doxorubicin (DOX) in 4T1 tumor-bearing mice after intravenous injection of DOX-loaded NOTA-mSiO2-PEG-TRC105, which holds great potential for future image-guided drug delivery and targeted cancer therapy.
