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

Photodynamictherapy (PDT) uses a drug called a photosensitizer that is excited by irradiation with a laser light of a particular wavelength, which generates reactive singlet oxygen that damages the tumor cells. The photosensitizer and light are inert; therefore, systemic toxicities are minimized in PDT. The synthesis of novel PDT drugs and the use of nanosized carriers for photosensitizers may improve the efficiency of the therapy and the delivery of the drug. In this study, we formulated two nanoparticles with and without a targeting ligand to encapsulate phthalocyanines 4 (Pc 4) molecule and compared their biodistributions. Metastatic human head and neck cancer cells (M4e) were transplanted into nude mice. After 2-3 weeks, the mice were injected with Pc 4, Pc 4 encapsulated into surface coated iron oxide (IO-Pc 4), and IO-Pc 4 conjugated with a fibronectin-mimetic peptide (FMP-IO-Pc 4) which binds specifically to integrin β1. The mice were imaged using a multispectral camera. Using multispectral images, a library of spectral signatures was created and the signal per pixel of each tumor was calculated, in a grayscale representation of the unmixed signal of each drug. An enhanced biodistribution of nanoparticle encapsulated PDT drugs compared to non-formulated Pc 4 was observed. Furthermore, specific targeted nanoparticles encapsulated Pc 4 has a quicker delivery time and accumulation in tumor tissue than the non-targeted nanoparticles. The nanoparticle-encapsulated PDT drug can have a variety of potential applications in cancer imaging and treatment.
