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

αvβ3 integrin receptors expressed on cancer cell surfaces play a crucial role in promoting tumor angiogenesis and cancer cell metastasis. Thus, cyclic arginyl-glycyl-aspartic acid (cRGD) peptides have been explored as a αvβ3 integrin receptor-specific targeting moiety for the targeted delivery of nanoparticle-loaded therapeutics. However, our previous study showed that cyclic RGD could act as a double-edged sword that, on one hand, extended the retention of cRGD-modified solid lipid nanoparticles (RGD-SLNs) at αvβ3 integrin receptor overexpressing breast carcinoma, and yet on the other hand, decreased the amount of tumor accumulation of RGD-SLNs attributable to the greater uptake by the mononuclear phagocyte system (MPS). Therefore, we aimed to optimize the RGD-decorated nanoparticle systems for (1) inhibiting αvβ3 integrin receptor overexpressing tumor cell metastasis and (2) increasing nanoparticle accumulation to tumor site. SLNs with cRGD content ranging from 0 to 10 % mol of total polyethyleneglycol (PEG) chains were synthesized. The binding of RGD-SLNs with αvβ3 integrin receptors increased with increasing cRGD concentration on the nanoparticles. RGD-SLNs were demonstrated to inhibit MDA-MB-231 cell adhesion to fibronectin and invasion through Matrigel. In vivo whole-body fluorescence imaging revealed that 1 % cRGD on the SLNs' surface had maximum tumor accumulation with extended tumor retention among all formulations tested in an orthotopic MDA-MB-231/EGFP breast tumor model. This work has laid a foundation for further development of anticancer drug-loaded optimized cRGD nanoparticle formulations for the treatment of breast cancer metastasis.
