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

A doxorubicin-loaded mannitol-functionalized poly(lactide-co-glycolide)-b-D-α-tocopheryl polyethylene glycol 1000 succinate nanoparticles (DOX-loaded M-PLGA-b-TPGS NPs) were prepared by a modified nanoprecipitation method. The NPs were characterized by the particle size, surface morphology, particle stability, in vitro drug release and cellular uptake efficiency. The NPs were near-spherical with narrow size distribution. The size of M-PLGA-b-TPGS NPs was ~110.9 nm (much smaller than ~143.7 nm of PLGA NPs) and the zeta potential was -35.8 mV (higher than -42.6 mV of PLGA NPs). The NPs exhibited a good redispersion since the particle size and surface charge hardly changed during 3-month storage period. In the release medium (phosphate buffer solution vs. fetal bovine serum), the cumulative drug release of DOX-loaded M-PLGA-b-TPGS, PLGA-b-TPGS, and PLGA NPs were 76.41 versus 83.11 %, 58.94 versus 73.44 % and 45.14 versus 53.12 %, respectively. Compared with PLGA-b-TPGS NPs and PLGA NPs, the M-PLGA-b-TPGS NPs possessed the highest cellular uptake efficiency in A549 and H1975 cells (lung cancer cells). Ultimately, both in vitro and in vivo antitumor activities were evaluated. The results showed that M-PLGA-b-TPGS NPs could achieve a significantly higher level of cytotoxicity in cancer cells and a better antitumor efficiency on xenograft BALB/c nude mice tumor model than free DOX. In conclusion, the DOX-loaded M-PLGA-b-TPGS could be used as a potential DOX-loaded nanoformulation in lung cancer chemotherapy.
