Phytantriol Based "Stealth" Lyotropic Liquid Crystalline Nanoparticles for Improved Antitumor Efficacy and Reduced Toxicity of Docetaxel.
Article in Pharmaceutical research, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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.
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 present work focuses on design and development of surface functionalized LCNPs for improving tumor delivery of DTX.
methodsPhytantriol based "stealth" LCNPs were prepared using hydrotrope method and optimized. The potential of developed formulation was further assessed using cell culture experiments, in vivo pharmacokinetics, in vivo pharmacodynamics and toxicity studies.
resultsA biphasic drug release pattern was observed with sustained release of drug till 72 h. In vitro cell culture experiments revealed efficient internalization within MCF-7 cells with 25.80-fold decrease in IC50 value for PEG-LCNPs as compared to free DTX. Mechanistic insights demonstrated preferential co-localization of LCNPs in the vicinity of the nucleus. Furthermore, in vivo pharmacokinetic studies revealed 14.45-fold enhancement in circulation half-life of PEG-LCNPs as compared to marketed formulation Taxotere®. In vivo efficacy studies PEG-LCNPs in DMBA induced breast cancer model revealed ~81% reduction in the tumor burden compared to Taxotere® which caused/achieve only 47% reduction or showed only 47% decrease. Furthermore, safety profile was noted for PEG-LCNPs as compared to Taxotere®, measured as a function of hepato- and nephro-toxicity.
conclusionsSurface functionalization of LCNPsis a viable approach for improving the therapeutic potential of DTX.
