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

purposeThe objective of this work was to develop a multifunctional tumor-targeting nanocarrier based on the mechanism of CD44-mediated endocytosis and pH-induced drug release to improve the therapeutic efficacy of docetaxel (DTX).

methodsHyaluronic acid-coated docetaxel-loaded cholesteryl hemisuccinate vesicles (HA-CHEMS vesicles) were prepared. The physiochemical properties and pH-dependent drug release of HA-CHEMS vesicles were evaluated. The HA-CHEMS vesicles were investigated for CD44-mediated internalization and in vitro cell viability using MCF-7,A549 and L929 cells.In addition,tissue distribution as well as antitumor efficacy was also evaluated in MCF-7 tumor-bearing mouse model.

resultsThe particle size and zeta potential of HA-CHEMS vesicles were 131.4 ± 6.2 nm and -13.3 ± 0.04 mV,respectively. The in vitro drug release results demonstrated a pH-responsive drug release under different pH conditions. In vitro cell viability tests suggested that the encapsulation of DTX in HA-CHEMS vesicles led to more than 51.6-fold and 46.3-fold improved growth inhibition in MCF-7 and A549 cell lines,respectively compared to Taxotere®. From the cell uptake studies,the coumarin 6-loaded HA-CHEMS vesicles enhanced intracellular fluorescent intensity in the CD44-overexpressing cell line (MCF-7). Biodistribution studies revealed selective accumulation of HA-CHEMS vesicles in the MCF-7 bearing BalB/c nude mice as a result of passive accumulation and active targeting (CD44-mediated endocytosis). Compared to Taxotere®,HA-CHEMS vesicles exhibited higher antitumor activity by reducing tumor volume (P < 0.05) and drug toxicity,demonstrating the success of the multifunctional targeting delivery.

conclusionsThis work corresponds to the preparation of a multifunctional tumor-targeted delivery system. Our investigation shows that hyaluronan-bearing docetaxel-loaded cholesteryl hemisuccinate vesicles (HA-CHEMS vesicles) is a highly promising therapeutic system,leading to tumor regression after intravenous administration without visible toxicity.
