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

Nanovectors are a viable solution to the formulation of poorly soluble anticancer drugs. Their bioaccumulation in the tumor parenchyma is mainly achieved exploiting the enhanced permeability and retention (EPR) effect of the leaky neovasculature. In this paper we demonstrate that multistage nanovectors (MSV) exhibit rapid tumoritropic homing independent of EPR, relying on particle geometry and surface adhesion. By studying endothelial cells overexpressing vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-2 (VEGFR2), we developed MSV able to preferentially target VEGFR2 expressing tumor-associated vessels. Static and dynamic targeting revealed that MSV conjugated with anti-VEGFR2 antibodies displayed greater than a 4-fold increase in targeting efficiency towards VEGFR2 expressing cells while exhibiting minimal adherence to control cells. Additionally, VEGFR2 conjugation bestowed MSV with a significant increase in breast tumor targeting and in the delivery of a model payload while decreasing their accumulation in the liver. Surface functionalization with an anti-VEGFR2 antibody provided enhanced affinity towards the tumor vascular endothelium, which promoted enhanced adhesion and tumoritropic accumulation of a reporter molecule released by the MSV.
