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

aimThe nontoxic mutant of diphtheria toxin (DT) has been demonstrated to act as a receptor-specific carrier protein to delivery drug into brain. Recent research showed that the truncated "receptorless" DT was still capable of being internalized into cells. This study investigated the effects and potential mechanisms of DT(270-326) , a truncated "receptorless" DT, on the permeability of the blood-tumor barrier (BTB).

methodsBTB and GECs were subjected to DT(270-326) treatment. HRP flux assays, immunofluorescent, co-immunoprecipitation, Western blot, CCK-8, and Flow cytometry analysis were used to evaluate the effects of DT(270-326) administration.

resultsOur results revealed that 5 μM of DT(270-326) significantly increased the permeability of BTBin vitro, which reached its peak at 6 h. The permeability was reduced by pretreatment with filipinIII. DT(270-326) co-localized and interacted with caveolin-1 via its caveolin-binding motif. The mRNA and protein expression levels of caveolin-1 were identical with the changes of BTB permeability. The upregulated expression of caveolin-1 was associated with Src kinase-dependent tyrosine phosphorylation of caveolin-1, which subsequently induced phosphorylation and inactivation of the transcription factor Egr-1. The combination of DT(270-326) with doxorubicin significantly enhanced the loss of cell viability and apoptosis of U87 glioma cells in contrast to doxorubicin alone.

conclusionsDT(270-326) might provide a novel strategy to increase the delivery of macromolecular therapeutic agents across the BTB.
